Brush your teeth children
cavities the consequence
Then pain from needles

Can’t feel my gums now
Drill and drill then fill until
Teeth saved then adulthood

They are called false teeth
Okay, now I chew again
Not with my own teeth

The dentist says to
Pay me now or pay later
So, brush your teeth now

I wish I was a shark!
