what does this mean, "the tooth fairy avoids bridges"?

hahahaha, that's very funny!  Because she doesn't want fake teeth, like on a bridge of false teeth, she wants a real tooth.

Past events to be put aside~by gones\n\nIt means that something is in the past and no longer important. \n\n"My sister and I fought when we were children, but that's water under the bridge."\n\nI think the analogy is that water under the bridge is constantly moving toward the sea. That's a little abstract, so you might also imagine dropping a leaf into the water from atop a bridge. By watching the leaf float down river you'd be witnessing the progress of the water.

Yeah, I checked out that site from someone's link, I love it.\n\nPeople hang onto something for so long... it's hard to admit that prayer is a waste and to let go.  They would be lost.\n\nI think I was upset when I found out the tooth fairy wasn't real, but I moved on too.

Nope.  It just means that one hasn't found (m)any people who share(s) their interests, gets their sense of humor, etc.  It isn't a reflection on the person. =)

"Merry Meet" is part of a saying popularized in rituals: "Merry Meet and Merry Part and Merry Meet again".\n\n"An it harm none" is a reference to our three-fold law, a cornerstone of our ethics: The idea is that what we do affects us physically, mentally and spiritually.  If we walk around punching people we may get hurt, we might get thrown in jail, it will hurt our friendships and stunt our spiritual growth.  The idea is that if we do things that help the world around us we will live in a better world.  It is in our best interests to do things that harm no one if at all possible; and we live with the consequences if we choose to ignore this.\n\nHope this helps :-)

I found this person's opinion of the meaning and I think it's very accurate:\n\n"I think this song is about an emtpy soul who see's no color but black and white. He has no emotion and isn't able to explain his feelings: 'taffy stuck, tounge tied'. A very closed, unaccepting person who doesn't open up to anyone. He is emotionally brain dead and trying to escape the complete numbness of his life. He's dead inside and covers it up with the ol' "I am Fine"."

Actually, Washington never had wooden teeth.  He had dentures made out of ivory and human teeth.  And he probably never chopped down the cherry tree, the writer who wrote his biography had to fill in stuff for his childhood because there was so little information about it.

OK, the person who said 'decorative fungus' is referring to the fact that Blanche, while attractive, is sort of growing and spreading and casting a nasty shadow over the Kowalskis.\n\nThe 'doomed dinosaur aproaching excinction' quote refers to the fact that Blanche is aging ungracefully, throwing herself at younger men in order to make herself feel better about her diminishing appearance, and envying her sister for having a young, fertile life with a husband and a baby on the way.  Because of the jealousy, denial, and fear she has about growing old, she comes across less like a sexy temptress and more like a sad, middle-aged woman who can't come to terms with her own reality.  I hope that helps!

Alice is correct\n\nIf I saw those words with no context, I would translate it to mean:\n"Clarity comes through pain."\n\nclaritas has a deeper meaning of being clear and bright like the light that shines through a diamond.  source: Vergil's Aeneid\n\nadvenit means to arrive come or happen\nwe get the word advent from this

It means old.  It relates to the fact that as we age, our gums recede and show more of the tooth.

It's quote from the film Marathon Man.  Laurence Olivier's character says it as he is about torture Dustin Hoffman's character with a dentist drill.

It means "taking on more than one can manage."\n\nIt refers to both, really. Think about the literal meaning of the term. You rip off more with your teeth than your mouth can  hold, or process...\n\nIt means that you may want it (whatever it is), or may be willing to try, but it is beyond the limits of what you are able to do.\n\nHope this helps!  :-))

You actually missed some of that quote, the entire phrase as\n\n"Compared to watching my alcoholic family fighting over the last bottle of scotch, I don't really find I Love Lucy to be that funny"\n\nTaken in this context, it has a little more meaning behind it.

I believe it comes form old english and means "man who hasn't seen his wife's beaver". I've seen this definition in a dictionary of old english (but they used a much stronger word in place of "beaver").\n\nAccording to the wicktionary another POSSIBLE source could be the latin phrase "non compos mentis" meaning: "not having sound mind".

the mood is one of satisfaction. the writer is saying that when you have a fence dividing you, it does not "divide" but it prevents.the tone, i guess would be the same. Why exactly are you reading this poem? i had to for a school project.
