Ode to Steve Martin

Ok, so today will be the last post for a while as tomorrow I am going to have all my wisdom teeth out. Not looking forward to it as I have gotten so many opinions on how it will feel afterward. From "You'll be fine," to "It's excruciating," to "At least you'll have good drugs." Well, I do know the last one is true as the prescription for Percocet is already in my possession. So today I am going with the Little Shop of Horrors classic, "Dentist"

[ORIN]
When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
What did she say?

[ORIN]
She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist

You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

Let's hope my Doctor is a little bit better than Mr. Martin. Wish me luck.
