Abbie Keogh

Apprentice Dental Nurse

 

There once was a girl called Abbie Keogh,
Who joined our practice with enthusiasm and hope.
Her sister Tayla had a cunning plan,
"Come work at the dentist!" – and Abbie said, "I can!"

​

Tayla was off having baby number two,
And needed a replacement to see the job through.
So Abbie stepped in, all cheerful and bright,
Unaware that she'd soon be in for a fright!

​

She's funny and silly, with jokes by the score,
Always bringing laughter through the practice door.
She's bubbly and bonkers, a bit of a clown,
But there's just one small problem when the saliva comes round...

​

A patient opens their mouth, just a little too wide,
And Abbie starts looking for somewhere to hide.
A glimmer of spit, a droplet of foam,
And suddenly Abbie is halfway back home!

​

Forget the injections, the drills and the pain,
It's a little bit of saliva that drives her insane.
While dentists are working and hygienists are spraying,
Abbie's complexion is fading and she's slowly decaying!

​

We've seen her go pale, we've seen her go white,
We've wondered if she'll make it through another bite.
A nurse who's afraid of the stuff in our mouths,
Is perhaps in the wrong job, without any doubts!

​

But despite all the drama, the fainting and fun,
She's become a real asset, and a brilliant one.
She's got bags of character, a heart made of gold,
And plenty of stories that never get old.

​

So thank you, dear Abbie, for joining our crew,
Though we're still not quite sure what Tayla's put you through.
Keep laughing, keep smiling, keep being your best,
And perhaps one day saliva won't put you to the test!

​

So here's to Abbie, our comedy queen,
The funniest apprentice we've ever seen.
She's brilliant at nursing, that's certainly true…
Just keep the suction handy, or she'll be joining the patients on the floor too!
