Oh the Crocodile <br />Went to the dentist <br />And sat down in the chair, <br />And the dentist said, 'Now tell me, sir, <br />Why does it hurt and where?' <br />And the Crocodile said, 'I'll tell you the truth. <br />I have a terrible ache in my tooth.' <br />And he opened his jaws so wide, so wide, <br />That the dentist he climbed right inside, <br />And the dentist laughed, 'Oh, isn't this fun?' <br />As he pulled the teeth out, one by one. <br />And the Crocodile cried, 'You're hurting me so! <br />Please put down your pliers and let me go.' <br />But the dentist just laughed with a Ho Ho Ho, <br />And he said, 'I still have twelve to go -- <br />Oops, that's the wrong one, I confess. <br />But what's one crocodile's tooth, more or less?' <br />Then suddenly the jaws went snap, <br />And the dentist was gone right off the map. <br />And where he went one could only guess... <br />To North or South or East or West... <br />He left no forwarding address. <br />But what's one dentist more or less?<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crocodile-s-toothache/
