Sugar Bugs, Go Away!

By Yui Shun, age 5

Hello there!
I live inside your mouth.
I help you bite your yummy food,
Making your tummy feel so good. 

But sugar makes me cry all day,
It washes my white jacket away.
Then sugar bugs jump on my bed,
And dance around my sleepy head! 

I love it when you brush me right,
Twice a day, both day and night.
The sugar bugs all run away,
And I will sparkle, clean and bright!
Have you made me smile today?
