Teeth

Teeth are indeed
Most wonderful things
They chomp up your food
Or open pull rings
They’ll slice you some sticky tape
If scissors you have none
They help you to talk, to sing,
To have fun
Teeth, when behaving are best at a smile
But they will soon know
You neglect them a while.
Teeth can be viscious, vindictive and shite
And then you will need some
That come out at night.
