The Impatient Tooth Fairy

Get that tooth out! My husband said.
He’s a wussy; yank it from his head!
The grandchild was shrieking; his name is Jack.
I could not do it, so I held myself back.

My husband came at with him pliers now.
Oh, sure that will work; the kid had a cow!
The tooth fairy is in no hurry I said to my man.
Back off; you are scaring him. Go eat some bran.

The tooth faerie came by and said, “Come on Frank!’
She was a grouchy, weird crank.
She took out her pliers and gave it a yank.
