The Dentist’s Chair.

I hate it, I hate it, and who shall dare

To chide me for hating that dentist’s chair?

I hated it first in my early youth,

When I groaned in its depths with an aching tooth.

And many and keen are the pangs through my soul,

And the terror I feel is beyond control;

I could gnash my teeth in my wild despair,

As I gaze on that terrible, terrible chair.
