Tooth Fairy

by Luna


To Mickey, with love.
Tonight, young girl lost a tooth, but it found
safety under her pillow; now it's bound
for a new home 'neath trees of sweet cherry.
Listen...distress call came for Tooth Fairy,
who "quick-as-a-wink" summoned Flying Hound.

Quiet! Her silvery wings made no sound
as she picked up the tooth ~ looked far around ~
traded in for a fiddle of cherry.
          ~~ Tonight, young girl's spellbound.

Flying Hound saw her home.  Breezing through town 
at top speed; she took stock ~  instantly found
summer months would wear down our Tooth Fairy.
That season is when mothers are wary...
children take chances down at the fairground.
           ~~ Tonight, young girl's spellbound.
