Toothfairy

the toothfairy isn't *****
in fact, all he wants is teeth
just why I often wonder
but still a tooth I'll put beneath
my pillows, he's always peekin' under
he's kind'a cheap these days
only a nickle, dime, or quarter
guess he doesn't know about inflation
though I think he really ought'a
think he goes to dental school?
what's he do
with all those darn teeth?
grind them into dice?
I guess that'd be nice,
of use once again
in a gambling den.
