Children between six and seven,
Ascend to monetary heaven
For every time a tooth is lost
Flossie, the Fairy, bears the cost.
Dental Flossie is so sweet,
She takes each tooth that’s packed up neat
And tucked beneath the pillow case,
Then puts some money in its place.
Now this behaviour might seem weird
But every tooth has reappeared
As a Fairy building brick,
A very eco-friendly trick.
Yes every Fairy wall and roof
Is made up of recycled tooth,
Bonded with the best toothpaste
So nothing ever goes to waste.
So fairy mansions, castles too,
Are all a gleaming, creamy hue,
And you will recognise their scent,
That’s right, its toothpaste peppermint!
So children between six and seven,
Don’t think your monetary heaven
Is Mum or Dad or Fairy tricks.
Its Flossie buying building bricks.
