Five haikus to the root canal
1.
The endodontist
keeps his files in a holster
Canal sharp shooter
2.
My dentist is Sikh
He speaks with disarming charm
Antidote to fear
3.
Four needles numb jaw
A Coldplay soundtrack distracts
I watch, wait, endure
4.
How do you judge depth?
“Electronic gauge,” he says
Not plumber’s feel – whew!
5.
How many per day?
“Eight,” the reply, as I pay …
I’m in the wrong job

I’m Art Kilgour, a graphic designer by day, but I got my start as a writer, in the journalistic vein. So this blog is a continuing outlet for that part of my brain. I write about my passions, my family, and other stuff that interests me. Enjoy!
the write stuff 
Nice job Art. Good to see some if your other talents with the pen. (Aren’t we all in the wrong business? Except real estate agents.)
I have a client who is an orthodontist. He runs his practice like a Cirque Du Soleil performance and sees 125 patients per day! Seems like a fairly lucrative gig, LOL.
