Tooth Number 17
My husband had his tooth pulled;
It was number 17.
With pain involved, extracting it
Was easily foreseen.
Our grandson pointed out he missed
By just a single date,
Tooth Fairy Day (the 28th),
But it’s up for debate…
If he would rate a visit
Since our granddaughter was sure
The fairy comes for baby teeth;
The rest have no allure.
In any case, the tooth is out;
The pain will not persist
And we found out tooth 17
Won’t even be much missed.
