The Toothfairy

I SHUDDER WITH FRIGHT, I SHUDDER WITH FEAR
YOU WILL BE DISTURBED BY THE STORY YOU’LL HEAR.
SHE SHOWS NO MERCY, YOU HAVE NO WAY
YOU CAN GUARANTEE, YOU WILL NEVER SEE DAY.
IT HAPPENED LONG AGO,
IN A COTTAGE NOT FAR FROM HERE.
FOR THE WOMAN WAS GENTLE
AND NEVER SHOWED FEAR.
SHE LOVED TO COOK, SHE LOVED TO BAKE
SHE LOVED EVERYTHING FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
SHE MADE TREATS AND GOODS, FOR THE CHILDREN AFAR
SHE’D COME AND VISIT THEM, NO MATTER HOW FAR.
THE TOOTHFAIRY SHE BECAME KNOWN
SHE’D COME TO EVERY HOME.
SHE WOULD ALWAYS LEAVE A TREAT
IN EXCHANGE FOR CHILDREN’S TEETH.
TWA’S DECEMBER, IT WAS COLD BUT SECURE
FIRE CAUGHT TO HER HOME, WHICH IT WAS NO MORE.
HER FACE WAS SCARRED, FROM THE BURNING FLAMES
SHE MADE AN OATH, NEVER TO COME OUT AGAIN.
THE VILLAGE MEN WERE COMING TO THE SAVE
THEY THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD FINALLY SETTLE IN THE GRAVE.
SHE CAME OUTSIDE, SHAKING WITH FEAR
THE MEN STARED AND STARED AT THE WAY SHE APPEARED.
TWA’S FOUR YEARS LATER
TWO CHILDREN DISAPPEARED.
LOOKING AROUND THE VILLAGE
THE PARENTS SHUDDERED WITH FEAR.
THE CHILDREN WERE ON THEIR WAY
TO THE TOOTHFAIRY’S HOUSE.
BUT GOT LOST ON THE WAY
NOTHING WAS AROUND, NOT EVEN A MOUSE.
THE TOOTHFAIRY WAS BLAMED, ON HER NECK WAS A NOOSE
SHE TRIED TO GET AWAY, BUT COULD NEVER GET LOOSE.
THEY LOOKED AT HER FACE, ON THE TREE SHE WOULD HANG.
FOR THEY SAW NOTHING BUT GUILT, AND TO HELL, SHE’D BE ON HER WAY.
LATER, THE CHILDREN WERE HOME, AND NOTHING WAS WRONG
FOR THE PARENTS, HOWEVER, COULD HEAR THE TOOTHFAIRY’S SONG.
THEY KEPT IT THEIR SECRET, NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW
FOR THEY CUT DOWN HER BODY, AND BURIED IT UNDER THE SNOW.
THEY TOOK ONE LAST LOOK AT HER FACE,
FOR HER INNOCENCE, AND THEIR IGNORANCE, IT WAS A GREAT SHAME.
THEY SAID THEIR PRAYERS, THEY SANG THEIR SONGS
FOR THE TOOTHFAIRY’S SAYS “YOU’LL BE COMING ALONG”.

THE END
