So you could fill your mouth with sweets-
Candy bars and lemon drops,
Marshmallow and Tootsie Pops,
Butterscotch and bubble gum.
Hold out your hand - they'll give you some
Chocolate kisses, Jujubes,
Sourballs and jelly beans.
Have a cake - some cookies too.
Take a couple - grab a few
Peppermint Sticks and Mary Janes,
Licorice whips, and candy canes,
Slurp some soda, munch a pie,
Don't let those M&M's go by,
Chew that toffee, munch those treats,
Get that caramel in you teeth.
Then come see me, I'll be here-
I'm your friendly dentist, dear. "
- Shel Silverstein, 'Everything On It'
