Oh, let me be, rather than go shopping after a dental appointment
Booed off the stage;
Or develop an incurable combination of Malaria and carpal tunnel;
Or compel my hand to burn all books; send me
Through the slaughter house a thousand times; or force me to hear
Ashcroft sing in an eternal loop;
Or take my things to be smashed, and
Bid me walk over a field of the shattered pieces.
Or rip from me my soul and will with cold iron hooks;
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;
And I will do them without fear or doubt,
To go without shopping after a dental appointment.

Another peice done for English class. This one is really a spoof off of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 1, in which Juliet uses hyperbole to express how much she dreads marrying Paris. She says:

"O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
From off the battlements of yonder tower;
Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk
Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears;
Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,
O'er-cover'd quite with dead men's rattling bones,
With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;
Or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love."

<sarcasm>Geeze, what a complainer.</sarcasm>

So, enjoy my version. Oh, also - The reason I don't like going shopping after a dental appointment is because I'm always sleepy. I don't know what it is about the dentist (actually, the orthodontist), but I even fall asleep on the way TO the office. All I want to do afterwards is sleep, but my mom always drags me off to shop for something or other...
Anyway, the poem is called Novocain for irony. I fall nearly fall asleep in the chair even without novocain (though they haven't actually needed to use it ever...)

Nice parody. The extent of dental dread become clear after the mention of Ashcroft.

~Sigh~ And Mrs. Long didn't even get the reference... What's this world coming to?

Not so much dental dread as after-dental dread.

Ugh, I hate the numb-lip feeling. There's worse, in terms of dental after-effects. Like the stuff they pack dry-sockets with. It's tingly, tastes really weird, and spreads all over your mouth when you drink something and then makes everything in your mouth feel numb. Damn wisdom teeth!

Going shopping after a dentist appointment is cruel. You feel so self conscious when your lip feels the size of your foot and you can't drink anything because of the fluoride. (Shopping obviously leads to coffee. Everything leads to coffee if you're me.)

Indeed (although I don't drink coffee). I wouldn't mind it quite as much if I didn't go that often, but now that I go to the orthodontist once a month, it really gets on my nerves >_<
