    The dentist piece is both painfully familiar, and cleverly constructed. I enjoyed the word play, too.

    Yes, the dentist, it is not easy to find a good one, who doesn't have sadistic tendencies. Enjoyable piece, Stan.

    Thanks to:
    Brenda; A visit to the dentist is always about pain.
    Pamela; Don't you just hate them?

    Not if you'd had my Jock for a dentist - he had magic hands and never hurt at all. He doesn't have sadistic tendencies except for the mental ones he exercises as a WUM. I am so impressed with the skill you have used in your double accrostic etc. And as for your fused wordplay, I'm stil laughing. Secondomery goes with Harry Nicholson's mundulation. Tomorrable is eminently usable.

    Thanks Viv; Where are these people when you need them? :)
    Manyana, manyana - do you want it quick, or do want it right?

    Good job on the dentist piece in a form I've never managed to pull off.

    I liked your word play, especially Tomorrable.

    Thanks Mad Kane; I needed a 13 leter palindrome - luckily DETARTRATED is available. Hence the dentist theme. (It means to have had the tartar removed from your teeth)

    These are so clever. I'm really impressed by the first one. How long did it take you to write?

    Love 'Tomorrable'

    Hi Stan, I thought you might have done a different word for the end line, or backwards or something with your skills! A cross stick!(only joking!)

    Yestermorrow!

    Thanks to:
    Ron; Probably my first and last attempt.
    I'mnotaverse; I surprised myself and did it in about an hour... at the dentist's waitingroom :-?
    Andy; You're not Dentally challengeD are you...?

    Ah, you should try my dentist. I once spent 4 hours in his chair with nary a pinprick of pain. But, I've certainly experience dental pain via dentist in the past - ouch! It's the worst and you've captured it well here in an interesting form.

    Thanks Zouxzoux; They scare me to death.

    Hi.
    I just wanted to let you know that what I could read of your poem was very good. It's just the color font really messed with my eyes it was very hard to see each word totally.
    I am sorry. :(

    Stan, your fun is so contagious. Dentists, ugh. Love the word play throughout.

    The word 'dentist' gives me palpitations. The era of slow-speed drills spoiled any chance of me finding happiness in a dental chair.

    Thanks to:
    Lunawitch; I'm sorry too, but I appreciate your visit.
    Elizabeth; If it ain't fun, why bother...? :)
    Mike; Not just me then...

    Oh, my, I can feel the pain. I'll remember "Dentally Tortured" at my next dentist visit.
