The Lost Tooth

Joe, at six, has struggled to eat,
As his front tooth has grown ever more loose.
I suggested he pull it.

He gripped it and tugged,
And there it came.

“I didn’t know if I could get it.
It was so sheer!”

Definition:
Especially of a cliff or wall:
Perpendicular, or nearly so.

He found le mot juste.
Well done, son.
