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! |

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

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! Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
