Ha ha ha, highly amused by this satirical poem! 'And the Crocodile cried, 'You're hurting me so! Please put down your pliers and let me go.' - The dentist would have survived if he had done so!

A poem full of fun- -I think the careless dentists should read the poem- -The careless dentist may not know that he may be having a crocodile on the client's chair and his carelessness may cost his own life.
