Brush 'Em. Floss 'Em. Swish 'Em. Spit!

In the spirit of sharing and, admittedly, to create some interest in the book itself, here's the bonus rhyme from my latest book, "My Tooth Is Loose", announced below.  The challenge is to get through the rhyme without dribbling a little drool down your chin.  Now imagine reading it with a couple of front teeth missing.  The fun boggles the mind.

Enjoy!



Brush ‘Em. Floss ‘Em. Swish ‘Em. Spit!

By Bill Kirk

After breakfast, grab the toothpaste.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Clean those teeth until you’re blue faced.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Pull some floss, then spin and twist it.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

 ‘Round two fingers!  Almost missed it!

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Floss between your teeth is gliding.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Up-down, back-forth, slipping, sliding.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Slurp some water. Swish it! Swish it!

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Make a fish face.  Squeeze it! Squish it!

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Morning dental duty’s finished.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Dawn ‘til dusk—tooth health replenished.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Dinner’s done and day’s depleted.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!

Then at bedtime, fun’s repeated.

Brush ‘em. Floss ‘em. Swish ‘em. Spit!
