Ha, ha, ha, what a way to scare a kid into brushing teeth. Better than frightening him with the pain of the dentist tools. it reminds me of my Mom's warning about not washing ears. Supposedly, bean stocks would grow out of dirty ears.

The rhyme and rhythm are smooth in this and it could be illustrated to be a children's book.

I enjoyed reading this poem. It's not only for the end rhyming used but for the lesson it conveys to the children but the humor it brings to the readers. The visual imagery in words is such convincing to children. It does motivates them to brush their teeth. The poet's jolly feelings reflects on this write. Excellent write. Thanks for sharing.} Lin

Dear Author: this is a very creative and probably very effective writing to motivate children to brush their teeth! Given that was your intention, it deserves a six star which I unfortunately do not have but you have it from my heart. Great work; HIS GRAYNESS: Vance
