See, I can do it all myself
With my own little brush!
The tooth paste foams inside my mouth.
The faucet waters rush.
In and out and underneath
And round and round and round:
First I do my upstairs teeth
And then I do my down –
The part I like the best of it
Is at the end, though, when I spit.
(Dorothy Keeley Aldis)
