When I was just a lad of ten
I worked all day and saved
The dollar that I'd earned
For a rainy day

I kept it 'neath my pillow
And swear this is the truth
Woke up in the morning
My dollar became a tooth.

I love this spin on the story, Toe!

I knew I should have used a bank
To stash my salary!
There are dentures 'neath my mattress
Where my money used to be!

Toerag - I know! I know! The Tooth Fairy needed that beer money. I love the creativity and unexpectedness of the story plus I had fun. Namyh

Awfully much fun, but not a very profitable inversion unless you need a tooth. Well done 'fer sure.

More feelings and fewer words please

A voice from the past beckons...always a pleasure to read you sir. Perhaps you've got  a new business venture brewing here...put enough dollars under the pillow and you'll get a set of dentures!

Oh Deer Toe
That's such a shame
Have another go
And you may get a brain

Fun read, but who was the tooth donor and did you remember to say, "Fangs for that?"
Enjoyed.

Well Toe I'm flabergasted you're still around the same as I am every morning when I look in the mirror and wonder who that old man is wearing my clothes.........Speaking of teeth yours must be getting quite long these days.

Hang in there!
