Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Tooth Fairy Pillows

With some time on my hands
(Must I translate? I’m bored!)
I discovered material 
That I had stored.

So with needle and thread
And some stuffing in tow
I stitched 2 little pillows,
Relaxing to sew.

One for each of the grands
With a pocket on top
For a tooth or the money
The fairy will swap.

There’s just one little glitch – 
I will be quite bereft
If I see them at last
With no baby teeth left!

Rico Leffanta May 19, 2020 at 11:48 AM The thing with grandchildren is they don't want to wait for gifts to "cure" or be sanitised! But well done, Ilene! Yesterday, all of the Hawaiian Islands reported 0 new cases, so the end is in sight! Aloha! Rico

Richard Lamoureux May 19, 2020 at 8:28 AM Adorable! Thanks for your visit. ;0)

Eileen Manassian May 19, 2020 at 3:22 AM Oh Dear!!! I didn't except that ending, which makes it all the more endearing and funny. Great write, Ilene. I do hope you get to see them before then! ;)
