T tooth number three, yipee

O off it came I see, that too eating gobi

O on the day of camp art dance, c’mon let’s prance

T this time I’ll get one, quickly I decided to run run run

H had even forgotten to wear shoes fully, how silly

F for I was excited I would get another tooth, hoot hoot

A And I got there but tooth was nowhere, it hid behind metal slid

R really you got me. I enjoyed your letter, it made me feel happy and better

Y You’re wonderful and clever , and tooth fairy’s favorite kid forever !
