TEETHING PAINS
The Vampire dentist
acrylic paint on canvas by Robert Margetts
Wango tango—
oh boy, it sure hurts!
Please don’t give me Ex‑Lax,
it always gives me the squirts.
Use the other end, if you don’t mind—
my mouth is up here,
not way down behind!
Changing my diaper
just won’t do;
I’ve got gums in my mouth,
but nothing to chew.
Give me a pacifier,
Orajel, maybe some gum,
and for goodness’ sake,
take that thermometer
out of my bum!
