Full disclosure: I saw this in the EM forum and thought it was a great idea!

First course, second year?
Periodontology!
Ease into the pain.

Then, complete dentures.
Exercise in frustration,
Sticking teeth in wax.
 
Canadiens complain,
Can't go to school in their own country.
Rejection.

Tighten immigration.
Squeeze dry.
No more complainers.
 
OK, you guys need a break, D school is getting the best of you!

Might have been funny if it was in haiku form as the topic of the thread suggests.
 
To be a dentist
is just half the pain.
Looking down the mouth
is this all we have gained?

Cry me a river.
 
commonly asked questions on this forum in Haiku form:

Who ranks dental schools,
DDS or DMD,
Are my stats OK?
 
Brush and floss daily,
Streptococcus mutans lurks
Listerine helps too.
 
Never brush and see,
How much money you pay me,
To Jerk rotten teeth
 
People, haiku ain't haiku unless you follow these simple rules:


five syllables first
seven in the second line
finish with five more.


PS. and if my memory of 8th grade English class serves me well, it should describe an event in nature (so we'll stretch that rule a little considering the dental theme). 😉 🙂 🙂

PSS. I obviously have way too much time on my hands.... 🙄

My poor assumption,
"Everyone knows haiku rules!"
Reaps harvest of pain.
 
^^^ :laugh: :laugh:


(aphistis: hmmm, 3 out of 4 of your haikus so far contain the word "pain"... am I noticing a trend here? 😀 (I guess it'll be my turn one of these days))
 
Start school in a month.
Picked S-C over L-V.
Call me trojan man.
 
aphistis is hurt
been injured by dental school
aphi, ease the pain

shawnone, why S-C
thought L-V was your haven
shawnone, please explain

Coagulation
The cascade causes me pain
Memorizing it.

Offtopic, but don't forget the mnemonic "1972 WEPT".

1972 are the factors that are Vitamin-K dependent: 10, 9, 7, and 2.

WEPT stands for Warfarin, extrinsic, and Prothrombin Time used to test it (therefore, you know that the intrinsic pathway is tested by PTT).
 
Those Lil' Strips

by Bus

Colgate has breath strips.
Ones that are small, white, and squared.
They make me happy.
 
Who Else?

by Bus

Colgate is the best,
There is no competition.
Who else has breath strips?
 
The Mighty Paste

by Bus


When my breath is foul,
I turn to the mighty paste.
"Colgate" is its name.
 
Where Art Thou Strips?

by Bus


O' where art thou strips,
When foul breath is in my mouth?
Help or I will faint.
 
Die Hard

by Bus


Breath strips are the bomb,
Especially on garlic.
Die garlic, die hard!
 
Halitosis

by Bus


Halitosis, ouch!
That is what bad breath is called.
Thank god for my strips.
 
Year three: clinic time;
Thought last two years were bad, but
Wish I could go back.

Demanding patients,
Pros, endo, perio, ops,
Now thinking law school!

Must keep my chin up,
"Attitude is everything"
Come quickly, May next!
 
Okay, I'm on a roll now!

Laptops -- PC, Mac,
Gain knowledge in classrooms and
Hone Minesweeper skills.

Implant company,
Why do you aim to confuse
With new names yearly?
 
Dumb dental student
Kisses ass every day
in the end: F. Ha!
 
School has just started
My mind is still on the beach
Self medication?
 
Periodontist
@$$ backward voohdoo dentist
think they are surgeons 😀
 
Want to cure perio?
Just take out the teeth!
Its that freaking easy!
 
The gum gardening
Is a dying specialty
Just like their patients 😉
 
From a patient's perspective:


He wanted more cash
But I already smoked it
Bullet in face hurts.
 
flowers in the tree
collagen in the body
my eyes are so sore
 
3 weeks of freedom
why am I sitting here now
I'm going to bed
 
That's me with my fish
I caught him in Montana
And then I ate him
 
Here's mine from an orthowannabe. BTW, I like toofache's. That's funny.

Applications suck.
Why do I want to bend wires?
Keeping fingers crossed.
 
drinking many words
like wine from a slain bedrock
dental school it is
 
Scared of Mercury?
Pull out your fillings, or just...
Stop eating tuna!
 
Some guys play cards, but
Unreal Tournament is best
Blow off limbs in class.

First amalgam case
Only a PAR, yet
Still took me two hours!
