Kidnapping the Tooth Fairy

When I was six years old, I lost my first tooth
It fell out as  I was eating pizza while sitting in a booth
My sister told me something,and I thought  it was dumb
She said if I saved it,the tooth fairy would come
I didn't believe her,so I asked my dad
And he told me the same thing my sister had
He said if I put my tooth under my pillow,and I thought this next part was funny
That the tooth fairy would take it,and give me some money
He also said that she would only come at night
And that she would stay away if she saw any light
How absurd,I thought,this couldn't be true
Trading money for teeth was something nobody would do
So,after asking my mom,my brother,and a friend
My quest for the truth came to an end
I bolted to my room in a dash
And put my tooth under my pillow, I wanted some cash
But then,I got an idea,and it might sound kind of mean
I figured the tooth fairy had more money than a queen
So I came up with a plan that would be a little scary
I decided I was going to kidnap the tooth fairy
So,that night,I waited for the tooth fairy to come about
I just sat on my bed with all the lights out
I had something planned,and the tooth fairy didn't know it yet
But when she came into my room,she'd get trapped my a net
I knew it was wrong,but i wanted some money
So I could buy toys, and candy,and a bunny
I waited,and waited,but it seemed to be
The tooth fairy wasn't coming,I guess she didn't like me
So,I went to sleep,and the next morning when I awoke
I looked under my pillow,and began to choke
There was no money there,and neither was my tooth
And I knew why,too,I knew the truth
The tooth fairy hated me,this I could see
That's why she stole my tooth from me
I couldn't believe it,I didn't even get a dime
But that's okay,I thought,I'll get her next time
