Novocaine,
Sends signals to the brain.
A trait dentists use to constrain
Pain.
So true are your words of this write. I don't care for dentists they are way to expensive no matter how much Novocaine they give me, the look of the bill still hurts! lol

    Thank you Angel Debbie. I agree. The real pain comes when you get their bill.

Who goes to a dentist and not get pain, I went to clean my teeth a month ago and it was a grinding irritation, it is life. Well done, Tom.

A very fun format for poetry, Tom. Interesting you'd chose a dental theme. A couple years ago I had a root canal and the area was so hyper-sensitive that novocaine didn't work. Not a great experience. Thanks for reminding me of that. LOL

Seriously, a fun poem!

I don't think you have stretched things too far. If the absence of pain is the opposite of pain then that which brings about the absence of pain must surely be seen as antonym of pain even if a philosopher might disagree. Even with the novocaine I can't stand them fiddling about in there!

No pain -- no gain. the opposite of pain is pleasure, let the truth be known. Appreciate author notes. Hope there ain't no flies in the office? Guess, protein would be a plus. wackydo

I hope "Robina" read you poem--based on her recent post, she faces some serious dental work. I liked your use of the Antonym form for this message and your addition of rhymes. Cheers- Joan

I love the flow of the poem, it is short and say what is needed to say, without stretching it out. The rhyming gives you a feeling of rhythm and I get a feeling of relaxation.
