| The Tooth fairy’s a lovely sprite Who comes to take your teeth, so white. Each time you leave one, freshly shed, She’ll leave a coin beside your bed. So keep them clean, And let them gleam, She only takes the most pristine! But... |  Illustration © 2016 Chris Riddell |
..the bad tooth fairy’s really rude,
And has a nasty attitude.
A pixie who is less selective
Picking teeth that are defective.
Those that crack,
Or have turned black,
These are the ones that she’ll attack!
She won’t let nature run its course,
She’ll take these teeth by sheer brute force!
She’ll yank and tug and twist and jerk
And if this leverage does not work
She’ll kick the root,
With hobnail boot,
This fairy of real ill repute!
So...
...to avoid her forced extraction,
You must take this course of action,
Think carefully before you eat,
And only have one sugared treat,
Then brush and clean,
To make them gleam,
And keep your teeth fairy pristine!
And has a nasty attitude.
A pixie who is less selective

She’ll yank and tug and twist and jerk
