The Tooth Fairy
Dear Fairy,
At the midnight hour
Take my tooth but leave some power
With which it would be fun to fool
The teacher with her sums at school
And help me with my nouns and verbs
And spelling words I never heard.
But if you can't, it is all right
My friendly fairy of the night.
Bernadette.
Dear Bernadette,
Charms and spells and magic powers
Will only work in worlds like ours.
But you have love and smiles and youth.
And all I have is your big tooth!
Tooth Fairy.
