a funny poem

The dentist pulled my tooth out


The dentist pulled my tooth out

and he thought it was such fun

he grabbed his pliers

and dental pryers

and pulled another one.

"Yippee! Hooray! What awesome fun!"

he shouted out with glee.

He grinned a grin

then went back in

and pulled out number three.

Then number four and number five

and numbers six and seven

were followed by

a cheerful cry

Of "Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven!"

He took a few more from the top

and some from underneath,

he yanked them fast

until at last

he'd pulled out all my teeth.

Without my teeth I cannot chew;

I just eat soup and mush.

But don't be sad

I'm kind of glad--

I'll never have to brush!

--Kenn Nesbitt
