Last night I saw a fairy

Last night I saw a fairy
Checking if your teeth were clean
I watched her hop onto your gums to check them in between.

As she made her final checks
She sprinkled fairy dust
Then turned to me to whisper
"hygiene is such a must".

For children eat too many sweets
The fairy told me so
That "if you eat too many sweets
to the dentist you will go!".

So now each night at bedtime
As you brush them in between
Remember what the fairy said
"Make sure your teeth are clean!".
