The tooth book
Who has teeth?
Well, look around and you'll find out who.
You'll find that red-headed uncles do.
Policemen do.
And zebras too.
And unicycle riders do.
And camels and their drivers do!
Even little girls named Ruthie all have teeth.
All Ruths are toothy.
Teeth!
You find them everywhere!
On mountaintops!
And in the air!
And if you care to poke around,
You'll even find them underground.
You'll find them east, west, north, and south.
You'll find them in a lion's mouth.
Teeth! They are very much in style.
They must be very much worthwhile!
“They come in handy when you chew,” says Mr. Donald Driscoll Drew.
“That's why my family grew a few.”
“They come in handy when you smile,” says Smiling Sam the crocodile.
“They come in handy in my job,” says high trapezer Mike McCobb.
“If I should ever lose a tooth,
I'd lose my wife. and that's the truth.
“Teeth come in handy when you speak,” says news broadcaster Quincy Queek.
“Without my teeth I talk like ducks and only broadcast quacks and clucks.
“You're lucky that you have your teeth,” says a sad,sad snail named Simon Sneeth.
“I don't have one,
I can never smile like Smiling Sam the crocodile.”
“Clams have no teeth,” says Pam the clam.
“I cannot eat hot dogs or ham.
“No teeth at all,” says Pam the clam.
“I cannot eat roast leg of lamb.
Or peanuts! pizzas!popcorn!spam!
Not even huckleberry jam!”
“Without teeth we can't play trombones,” says a jellyfish named Jimbo Jones.
“I have no teeth,” says Hilda Hen.
“But women do.And so do men.”
“So I have happy news for you.
You will grow two sets!
Set one, set two.”
“You will lose set number one.
And when you do, it's not much fun.
“But then you'll grow set number two!
32 teeth, and all brand new.
16 downstairs, and 16 more upstairs on the upper floor.
“And when you get your second set, that's all the teeth you'll ever get!”
So don't chew down trees like beavers do.
If you try, you'll lose set number two!
And don't be dumb like Mr. Glotz.
Don't break your teeth untying knots.
And don't be dumb like Katy Klopps.
Don't try to chew off bottle tops!
Don't gobble junk like Billy Billings.
They say his teeth have fifty fillings.
They sure are handy when you smile.
So keep your teeth around awhile.
And never bite your dentist when he works inside your head.
Your dentist is your teeth's best friend.
Bite someone else instead!
