Poetry Thursday

   


Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday.


Sally lost a tooth after an altercation with an adversary.

Her mom promised her toothless situation would be temporary

And to put the tooth under her pillow and wait for something extraordinary

Because she would be visited by the tooth fairy.



But, her mom was unaware, for the fairy times had fallen on hard times

Back when he was in his prime

He only had to leave a dime

But, inflation and greed had caused the amount to climb. 


He tried to recoup his losses through bets

But blew all his money wagering on the Mets and the Jets 

Then he made a deal he would soon regret

When he had to protect the children from the potential buyer: Matt Gaetz


The Tooth Fairy had debts no honest fairy could pay

The bank took his wand, his crown, and his best wings away

He lost it all, a homeless fairy with nowhere to stay

And spent his last dollar on a girl from Piscataway


When Sally lost his tooth he had no revenue

But he didn’t want the toothless girl to be blue

So he snuck into the bedroom of the ingenue

To place under her pillow and IOU.


His mother caught the dairy over his daughter’s bed

And she felt a rage wanting to make him dead

But for his life he pled

“I’m just a bankrupt tooth fairy,” he said.


She believed the fairy but would not let his leaving no money pass

But his lack of money caused an impasse.

Until she made a deal with him that he thought was crass

That once a week the tooth fairy would cut their grass

  1. OMDs no matter how many times I see this photo it makes my spine shiver. Cutting grass barefooted is just the tip of the ice berg
