The Absent Tooth Fairy

(Bad tooth fairy)

Sing a song of golden coins,

poor Robbie hasn't any.

The fairy shirked her duties

and didn't leave a penny.

For days the tooth had wobbled

and given him some trouble,

because it was a back one

I told him he'd get double.

He went to bed quite early

and said that he felt sleepy.

He wrapped the tooth in tissue,

his face a wee bit cheeky.

I'm feeling rather guilty.

He seems a trifle puzzled.

"What happened to the fairy?"

She's feeling slightly sozzled.

U mean u forgot to place the magic penny under the child 's pillow? Poor munchkin. Tell it the fairy was sick and will put one when she recovers . You wrote it super cool splendidly as always makes us smile. You do have young children? Kudos for this poem. And warmest wishes.

An old poem, written about Robbie one of my grandchildren who lives with me. He was about 6 at the time, he's now 19. Doesn't the time fly? I hold my hand up. Guilty as charged, I forgot!!!!

Hehehehe! I can’t say I’ve ever heard of the tooth fairy not being able to pass the breathalyzer, so this is a fresh, unique take on the theme.

This piece is modern, but fills me with Dickensian delight. :):)

Tooth Fairy duties must be upheld. "pain-killers" are not to be imbibed by the fairies, themselves.
Highly entertaining, Chris!

A poetically busy day?

I'm a good girl. Poetically busy? Everyone posted today is an oldie. It takes me a while to compose new ones, can't rattle them off at the top of my head. Thanks Dave.
