The tooth fairy came to my house last night.
And I'll tell you the truth--
She left me a brand new $5 bill,
In place of my fallen out tooth!
But that is nothing to the dough I'll get,
Tonight when I put underneath
My pillow a guaranteed money maker--
Grandpa's full set of false teeth!!

You and Jack Prelutsky amd Shel Silverstein should sit down and have a beer sometime.
Wouldn't that be great! Those two guys are my heroes!
