AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Odd Psychological Warfare

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dentist sign on Nepean Highway, Rosebud, Mornington Peninsula

Odd Shot Monday prompt

A dentist usually likes to advertise
The range of
Medical services
Available
So you can peruse
At your leisure
(Or discomfort)
All the possibilities of
Freedom from pain
~
But a Rosebud dentist
Quickly gets to
The crux of the whole matter
~
This practice has learnt that
To be viable
You must learn
The emotional appeal of
Propaganda
~
WE CATER FOR COWARDS!
~
The art of psychological warfare

On my last visit to the dentist I found that he had a sign by the reception desk which read: " Blessed are those who engage in livelyu debates with the helplessly mute, for they shall be called dentists."
