The Shirk

It seems hard:

Just the way you look

At me is enough

To make me sweat.



I’ll be right back;

There’s something I forgot

To do in the car.

Sorry ‘bout that.



It’s so hard;

To go back inside.

His tooth must come out.

Poor old guy.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Aah, the dentist who just couldn't any longer, and couldn't admit to failure.  How often do we shirk our responsibilities as human beings?
