Another ode to my Dentist:

A Perfectionist Driller

That devilish dentist
Always looks harried,
Is it because her last
Two patients were buried,
Or does she need extra money
For housing and food,
Since her income was garnished
Because she was sued.

I don't know, I don't care
As long as her aim,
Is steady and precise
And matches her fame,
As perfectionist driller
And cosmetic master,
With a little more coffee
She'll get it done faster.

A satisfied customer
Is a boon for the trade,
With a couple like that
Your business is made,
By word of mouth
And glittering smile,
The bucks will roll in
And make a big pile.
