The Tooth Fairy
written by: Ed Sams
She watches bedroom windows
And waits as children sleep
To steal in like moonlight
Then fade out like starlight
Turning ivory to silver.
Once this ivory huntress
With a team of dreaming children
Raided the North Pole
To take the red-striped marker
(Worth a fortune in peppermint).
Santa and his reindeer rushed
To save their custom’s totem,
But all they found were a silver ax
And a team of dreaming children
To be escorted home.
