Mr. Mouse, It’s for U


A slack tooth in upper jaw,  
shocked,
 in verge of a cry,
d’ wobbly tooth’s hurting me
what should I try !
Palms sweating copiously
 heart beating fast,
no one at home,
whom do I ask!
My friend lost one,
biting a tough chocolate
Class teacher spotted it,
asked to applaud, celebrate
a milestone of development
unique its way, for each brat
Wiggle, rotate, an easy yank,
in time, deciduous must depart,
Ought to be out, to make way
 for permanent ones’ cozy stay
All, if linger together,
one, on top of d’ other
an undesirable crowding
alters speech, hurdles chewing
My bosom friend told,
don’t be timid, be bold
 I put mine beneath d' pillow,
Where did they go,
 I never know
But woke up & found a gift
Tooth fairy always sends,
for d’ tumbled milk teeth
My gift protocol,
debated with dad, mom all
No candy, no chocolate,
edible ones, I won’t accept
I need only durable gifts,
wish to preserve, each of it
One day I’ll have twenty gifts
for all my twenty baby teeth

Another friend said
listen to my story,
relax, nothing to worry
While chewing food,
I gulped a loose front tooth 
Papa rushed me to d' Dentist
She checked my mouth in details
smiled, declared it’s harmless
Me too perplexed,
finally called mom
Busy in some meeting,
she never respond
Made chary twist and turn,
 my first milk tooth uprooted, gone
To feel d’ empty socket,
again & again tongue's sliding up,
d’  precious gem lies in my palm cup
Mom tells, a lower baby tooth,
to be thrown up, onto d’ roof
Erupts adult tooth upwards
stout, strong of unique class
If it’s Upper teeth,
put it in to mouse pit
pops up a permanent upper,
grows downwards sharper, stronger

Thought for a while, then
 calmly walked to d’ park,
Put it in to a mouse pit,
under a rose plant
Mr. Mouse, It’s for U
Kindly do all that,
what U wish to do
