SKELETOR WAITING FOR DENTIST

On that dentist’ day

Skeletor didn’t want

But his wife forced him

Much to her chagrin.

Spoiled had fallen

A tooth and a fang

Of his lower jaws

And higher.

How his mouth hurt

And the teeth ¡

He thought they were going to crucify him

Since his little black eyes

Moved in blood.

Only excited him and gave him life

See a “Mary”

Breastfeeding her child

And the boy didn’t want it.

-How stupid this child is, he said to himself.

He doesn’t know what he’s missing!

When he heard

The dentist  with tongs

Was approaching him

You can’t imagine

What crying he did.

-Son of my heart

My garment

The dentist told him.

It’s not that big of a deal

Since teeth and fangs

What I bring you are gold

From an aunt of yours and mine.

When I insert your teeth

And the fangs

You will see how the cuckoos

Tell you “live, live”

”Long live your wisdom tooth

That it is still alive.”

He, as he could

Told the dentist:

-I don’t cry for the fangs and teeth

Not even for the pain you will cause me.

I cry for those who die

Night and day.

That Hell, where everyone goes

Is full

And Heaven, which does not exist

Is empty.

-Daniel de Culla
