Loose Tooth

Yesterday's poem was describing a safety pin!

Both of today's poems are about losing a tooth, and they even use the same word- wiggly- to describe it.  Can you find any ways the poems are different?
What words would you use in a poem about your own loose tooth?  


My Loose Tooth

I had a loose tooth, a wiggly, jiggly loose tooth.
I had a loose tooth, hanging by a thread.

So I pulled my loose tooth, this wiggly, jiggly loose tooth,
And put it 'neath the pillow when I went up to  bed.

The fairies took my loose tooth, my wiggly jiggly loose tooth,
So now I have a nickel, and a hole in me head.

Wiggly Tooth

Once I had a little tooth
That wobbled every day;
When I ate and when I talked,
It wiggled every way.

Then I had some candy--
A sticky taffy roll;
Now where my wiggly tooth was--
Is nothing but a hole.
