I saw an ant walk as I died...

                 #263

            Pun-ish-ment

Just as I was going under,

Sitting in the Dentist's chair,

I saw a black ant walking towards me:

"Wonderland," I thought, "I'm there."

Then the Dentist needled me,

And I could not see to see.*

Brents, both of whom I like very much.
