Biding It's Time Our Hannah with her snaggle tooth, Is prettier, and that's the truth, Than any sultry movie star Who gets her beauty from a jar. She's just turned six years old and so Her baby teeth are primed to go; But one, reluctant to vamoose Just hangs in there, relaxed and loose. Our Hannah doesn't seem to mind, She is not the conceited kind, And has more things to think about Than a laggard tooth that won't fall out. If you chance to see beguiling grin With a tooth that is more out than in, You have seen our Hannah, there's no doubt And her baby tooth that won't fall out. By Joyce 1/16/07 |

Perhaps attach a little string To rid poor Hannah of that thing? But then again, we cherish youth Best leave alone her baby tooth. Oh Joyce, I remember this moment in time with both of my grandkids, and are they not just as cute as a bug in a rug? Enjoyed your poem and the memory for me too  |

Thanks Mysteria. Those who have offered their assistance Have met with 6-year old resistance. Though our sweet Hannah isn't vain, She has a low threshold for pain. It's so good to hear from you. Love, Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (01-15-2007 12:27 PM).] |

Hannah's patience, I admire I'm sure she truly knows anticipation is a factor for the tooth fairy's BANK to grow !  Oh, how precious is this ... and it just can't be that she's already SIX !!! It was yesterday, I tell you, yesterday that she came into our lives !!!! *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Dear Joyce: Such a cute poem and sure brought back memories of my early years. My dad's answer to a loose tooth was thread wrapped around tooth and doorknob and then the door was slammed shut! No more tooth! I always tried not to let him know I had one! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

It's me again! I read this to a friend who was down in the dumps and it really cheered her. Barb |

When I was young a fairy came and left a penny for my pain It took my tooth and flew away but now be real... this is today! I feel the tooth will still be 'round until the Fairy leaves a pound For six years old are not so dumb they don't know how to up the sum! The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

Now there is a young lady with a lot of patience I'd say? Good for her, I am afraid I wouldn't have lasted and pulled the thing out. |
