The Alien's Tooth Rant

by The Kid

We've all seen Earth and Earthlings

and all the stuff they do.

Like, flying in winged spaceships, 

and chewing their OWN food!

Don't ask me how they do it

without their food flying away.

Perhaps it's the white things in their mouth

that sit there everyday!

So about the things in the their gums,

oh yes, they have gums too.

They 'smile', speak and other things,

All while chewing their OWN food!

The crazy thing about these 'teeth'

is that they sometimes will fall out!

And you'd think since they are made of bone,

the Earthlings would scream and shout!

But no, of course not,

they get happy and full of joy,

since when a 'tooth' comes out,

you get money or a toy!

They also clean these 'teeth'

with little furry sticks!

And after all this trouble

they use minty strings and 'toothpicks'

I guess it's hard to believe

all the things these Earthlings do.

But one thing is for sure...

It's absolutely true!
