This is delightful and reminds me of when I went to sleep with my head resting on the bristly side of a hair brush in an effort to stay awak in order to see, not the tooth fairy an my case, but Father Christmas. I didn't make it! This follows the alternate rhyme requirement perfectly.

Comment from apky
Beautiful artwork, a delight for the eyes.
I'm sure we all remember those fairy tooth yarns. I know I not only remember them but also carried on the tradition on my child.
You have crafted great meter and rhyme, in such a delicious story, which you tell with amazing, beautiful words. I don't think I've read a more skilfully told story in poetry.
I wish I still had a six to give.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
LOL! That is what most children try to do, sometimes the parents get caught out! What a lovely poem for children. The tooth fairy has been around for years, I can still remember her coming to me! Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra

Comment from Joy Graham
This is a fun poem about the tooth fairy being dad :) I never heard the tooth fairy coming in, but I always had a coin under my pillow by morning. One Christmas Santa even managed to leave a gift in my room while I was asleep. You have fine rhymes in the ever present abab rhyme scheme. Best wishes in the contest.

I think this is a good entry for the Rhyming Poetry writing prompt.
Your story of Dad caught in the act is well told.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from Susan B. Lamphier
I'm sorry to say I had to read this poem again and again, because it confused me. Not the topic, of course, but the rhyme and rhythm scheme. While the rhyme scheme is correct, the rhythm was awkward. I had to count each stanza out with my fingers (as I am sure you did). Most seem to have the correct beats, but the words were somehow not clear. Perhaps it is me, but I believe poetry should have some music in it, else why work so had to write it? Your rhythm made your rhymes disappear. I think, with a little more work, you might be able to add to that musicality. Otherwise, it has a clever story. Please take my gentle words, and continue to work though it. Blessings.
