The Whole Tooth

A reality show for kids and parents (Winner, Cramp!)

But it's a cinch, it'll stand tall
It'll grab the viewers by the eyeball!

It's a silly idea, gazdooks and forsooth!
A reality show called 'The Whole Tooth'?

Yes, yes, for kids and their parents so doting
They'll tell all their friends to get them voting!

But kids, bringing their (ugh) teeth that fell out
And a slogan 'my tooth's the biggest' that they shout?

Yes, yes, and the viewers have to say which molar
Is the greatest, the most popular.
And the tooth fairy (your wife, in costume)
Will hand the prize to the biggest TOOTH in the room!

My wife? In the show?
She'll love that, I know!

She'll be the tooth fairy, she'll be the judge
She'll hand out the winner's chocolate fudge!

If my wife's in it, then I'm for it
She nags me so I can't endure it.
There's never been a role for her yet
But now this one sounds like a sure bet!
