IF (Wilh aj)()l()}i,ic lo Kndyard K pIhi,ii) By John H. Morse If you can keep your nerve when all about you I ' m placing instruments you hate to see; If you can grip yourself when I ' m ab(nit to Bear down upon a nerve not tenderly; If you can grin, and not bite when I ' m grinding, Or when you hear me snarl, don ' t try to speak — Because my office girl I ' m merely asking To get another drill before next week. If you can dream, but not of what I ' m doing; If you can think, and hold your thoughts in check, If you can take a probe, or clean scraping. And keep your luncheon down below your neck; If you can bear to hear the bur ' s swift whirring. As up and down a nerve I softly play, And hold yourself without a muscle stirring, And then come back again for more next day; If you can let me grab the tooth that ' s aching; Grasp tight the chair and never pitch or toss, Nor cuss, nor faint, nor die, while I ' m extracting. And never groan a bit about your loss; If you can force your jaw to open wider. Your tongue to keep away when I ' m at work. And hold them there while I drill that incisor, And never spoil my technique with a jerk; If you keep still while I move each bicuspid To places where I think they ' d better be. And tell you that you ' ve been to stupid dentists Whose work I ' ll rearrange for just my fee; If you then pay the bill which I will send you At once, nor murmur of an overcharge. Yours is the world and everything that ' s in it. Because you are the only one at large! Reprinted from Tbc Dental D gcsf XXVIII (November, 1922), p. 703.
