The T-Rex who Lost his Teeth

There once was a T-Rex, big and tall

He had the sharpest teeth of all.

They were so shiny, pointy and straight

They sliced through everything he ate.

 

He showed off his teeth whenever he could

To the Dinos in the neighbourhood

Not a blemish, a stain or spot

He brushed them daily, he never forgot

 

One day while he was flossing,

T-Rex had a nasty fright

His beloved mouth of toothy-pegs

Were now, not quite so tight.

 

He tried to push them in again

But made them wobble more

His teeth were moving to-and-fro

And his gums were rather sore

 

T-Rex felt so very sad

He started to cry and stomp

“I am the fearsome T-Rex” He cried

“I cannot lose my chomp!”

 

He went to see his Dino friends

To ask them what to do

Friends can help to cheer you up

If you are feeling blue

 

“Pteranadon my teeth are loose,

I’ve tried to eat but it’s no use.

How will I bite and snap and crunch?

How does a gummy T-Rex munch?”

 

"Worry not my toothy friend

Your teeth will fall out but it’s not the end

The new ones will grow back real fast

And you’ll be back chomping at long last”

 

"Triceratops my teeth are loose

I’ve tried to eat but it’s no use

How will I gnaw and munch and nibble?

Without my teeth I’m going to dribble!"

 

"Don’t worry T-Rex, don’t you weep

The tooth fairy will come while you’re asleep,

To take your teeth and leave instead

A juicy bone beneath your bed!"

 

"Ankylosaur my teeth are loose

I’ve tried to eat but it’s no use,

How will I nip and pierce and tear?

My poor teeth! It’s just not fair!"

 

"Please don’t worry my Dino friend

Your teeth will come back in the end

You lose your teeth when you’re a pup

It just means you’re growing up!"

 

He tried to forget his toothy woes

And went to play with the other Dinos

But he went too fast on the roundabout

And his wobbly teeth just flew right out!

 

Now the T-Rex was seriously gummy,

His friends all laughed and said he looked funny

He thought he’d be sad when he lost his teeth

But instead he felt a sense of relief

 

He collected his teeth to put under his bed

And wrote a note asking for new teeth instead

The tooth fairy came and did a new tooth spell

(She left the T-Rex a juicy bone as well!)

 

T-rex woke up and ran to the stream

He looked at his mouth and started to beam

His brand new gnashers were better than before

“My teeth are back!” said T-Rex with a ROAR

 

His dino friend all gathered around

He had the best teeth in the entire playground

They were so shiny, pointy and straight

They sliced through everything he ate

 

He showed off his teeth whenever he could

To the Dinos in the neighbourhood

Not a blemish, a stain or spot

He brushed them daily, he never forgot
