POEM
4. Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow
He read medicine
Specializing in the tooth,
And graduated with honors
With new thesis
To cure the aching malady.
“Our teeth shall be alright!”
People chanted, welcoming his services.
And he started work, prompt and immediate.
They brought him all the teeth they had – Decaying
teeth, aching teeth, strong teeth
And he started working on their jaws
Diligently pulling out every tooth
From the jaws of every mouth, And
they paid him with meat Which now
they could not eat.
And so went on the dentist
Making heaps and heaps of teeth
Useless! Laying them waste
Without fear that soon,
Very soon indeed
He would have no teeth to attend to,
No tooth for which to call himself a dentist.
