Lost Fallen Teeth
They’re there somewhere
Lost in the carpet, or on my bed
If only, they ended up
Under my pillow instead
With the inability to crunch anymore
We’re all gummy now
Humming the song
Where only the lonely
Understands us
There is a perfect harmony
When we perform together
Purring for these fallen heroes
Who took us in from the storm
Gave us shelter
And a home
And so, my friend
You don’t have to live
Under the front porch
Anymore
With the skunk and racoon
Leave them feeling jealous
Come inside
Where it’s warm
My friend
Being now life long
And forever to
The end
