Tooth Number 17

My husband had his tooth pulled;
It was number 17.
With pain involved, extracting it 
Was easily foreseen.

Our grandson pointed out he missed
By just a single date,
Tooth Fairy Day (the 28th),
But it’s up for debate…

If he would rate a visit 
Since our granddaughter was sure 
The fairy comes for baby teeth;
The rest have no allure.

In any case, the tooth is out;
The pain will not persist
And we found out tooth 17
Won’t even be much missed.

Your poem made me feel sorry for a tooth. Poor thing won't even be missed. I was happy to read it to its mordacious end.
