The Golden Tooth

A confounded mystery that happened down south
When a golden tooth grew in an old woman's mouth

Arriving at the dentist one hot summer day
A lady arrived with hair of silver and gray

She showed up and smiled, her lipstick was red
A strange looking tooth made of gold and not lead

It appeared to be natural and was well rounded
It had the dentist completely dumbfounded

Offering to extract it, he would pay her some money
The lady agreed and found it all quite funny

The dentist first tried pulling the tooth without a budge
Ending up exhausted as if he had taken a trudge

After a few more tries he prayed to the holy trinity
That extracting the tooth would not take infinity

The tooth however did indeed become loose
The dentist knew he would soon get his goose

With a verve and some confidence he tried again
He would give it one final try and it would not be in vain

The tooth finally popped out and landed on his hand
It appeared solid pure gold and the sight was quite grand

Nobody knows even to this very day
What made a gold tooth grow in that way
