Notes About The Poem

my toofy gwin

tee-hee, I'm here again, jus' meef
          wit' dimples shining, chub-chub cheeks
               yous gotsta see my two new teef
     (dough dey be dwibblin' lotsa leaks)

me hasn't got no udders yet
          but dese is purrfect side-by-side
               dey always shiny, white and wet
     (and sometimes get my tungy tied)

my bib is stain, dey make me dwizzle
          fwum learnin' how to use 'em wight
               and when I talk my essez wizzle
     (toof fairy brung 'em late one night)

fer sher can't wait to really use 'em
          cuz mama says dey shine my chin
               how I gotsta bite and chew some
     grow more dandies for my gwin …

oh how I wuv dese bwight new tings
          and mama wuvs 'em, I can tell …
               she always waffs and always sings
     when I bite daddy ... make him yell!

Alison A Smith September 30, 2026 at 1:29 AM What a delightful little character poem—its baby-talk diction is sustained brilliantly, with the bouncing rhymes and staggered layout giving it the feel of an excited toddler’s breathless chatter. The humour builds beautifully from drooling, bib stains, and “tungy tied” speech to that wonderfully cheeky final bite on Daddy, while Mama’s laughter keeps the whole piece affectionate and warm.❤️
