Liza Has A Loose Tooth

A poem about a loose tooth

Liza Has A Loose Tooth


Liza has a loose tooth,
She can wiggle with her tongue.
It shimmies, and it sways,
Every time she runs and plays,
Outside beneath the warming sun.

Liza and her best friend,
were running north and south
"Look out!" she said
as they bumped heads
and her tooth jumped from her mouth.

Liza had a tooth loose,
now there’s nothing but a hole.
She covers up her smile
and hides it all the while
her teacher takes the roll.

Liza used to whistle,
she used to make such noise.
Now with her gap,
she can’t do that,
but can spit farther than the boys.
