TOOTHLESS GREETINGS

I’m suppose to stand out here and say,

"Hello" and  "Merry Christmas",

But I guess they just don't understand,

The size of job that this is,

Or they would look around and get,

Some older girl than me,

Someone that's got more teeth than this,

Cause I have just lost three,

I look so funny when I laugh,

And I say some letters wrong,

I sure can't sing or whistle,

But I can talk real long,

I want to say I’m glad you came,

And hope you come back too,

Good Luck and Merry Christmas,

And the best of health to you.
