Chomper's Dilemma

[The Friendly Sharptooth]

Not too long ago, I set out to write a Land Before Time poem. I was a clueless about ideas for a while, then I came up with the idea of retelling a past event in the Land Before Time world as a poem. I ended up choosing the events of the episode "The Mysterious Tooth Crisis" to retell as a poem. Below is what I ended up with. For those that don't enjoy reading so much but instead prefer to have things read to you, I am also providing a link of me reading it aloud.

Chomper’s Dilemma

It happened one day,
When Chomper was playing.
He found that his tooth,
Was clearly not staying.

He started to panic,
And be quite dismayed.
Though he didn’t feel pain,
It might be delayed.

Mr. Three Horn came by,
And what did he do?
He gave Chomper a fright,
Made him think he was through.

Chomper didn’t give up,
And sought one who’s wise.
He tried fixing the tooth,
With a great many tries.

Things didn’t look good.
While they came to a song,
That tooth would not stay,
Something had to be wrong.

Ruby came to their mind,
She may be of help.
But she was off soaking,
So they couldn’t yelp.

They set out to find her.
Chomper’s sniffer did guide.
But things were still tough,
As the valley was wide.

They looked quite a while,
Then found a small cave.
But they soon had to run;
Buzzers just don’t behave.

They climbed a tall rock,
But then they all stopped.
Ducky started to stumble
And very near dropped.

Chomper managed to save,
But it came at a cost.
He dropped his dear tooth,
And all was thought lost.

Brave Petrie didn’t think;
He hadn’t time to waver.
He flew down that cliff,
And became quite a saver.

They found the mud pool,
And began making way.
The thought on their mind-
Will Ruby save the day?

Things quickly went bad,
When Chomper fell into sand.
As he started to sink,
Clutched his tooth in one hand.

Littlefoot held out his tail,
Which Chomper did take,
But with only one hand,
Couldn’t pull from the lake.

With shouts all around,
He finally let go.
But without his dear tooth,
His fear started to grow.

While the others got Ruby.
Petrie stayed very near.
Chomper was sad,
And ready to tear.

 When they all got back,
They brought quite the news.
Chomper was normal,
Though all teeth he’ll lose.

When one does fall out,
A new one takes place.
Chomper was relieved,
And it showed on his face.

Chomper burst into song,
What was plain to see,
“It’s like the Bright Circle
Is shining inside of me.”
