Fairies

Everywhere that you look,

And some places you don’t,

There are fairies to see,

Though you probably won’t.

There are fairies on daisies

And fairies on trees,

There are fairies who play

Hide and seek with your keys.

There are fairies of fire

And fairies of night,

There are fairies who flip and fling

Flapjacks in flight.

There are fairies all over,

Yes fairies galore,

Switching price tags and signs

At the grocery store.

They are merry and mischievous,

Not often scary.

They wave their wildflowers

And trim topiary.

And oh, how they frolic!

And oh, how they dance!

And oh, how they laugh

When they loosen your pants!

Then they’re gone in a flash,

On their paper-thin wings,

Off to do more ridiculous

Wonderful things.

So the next time you lose

A good sock in the dryer

That shows up again in

Your music in choir,

Just give a good laugh,

And the next time, be wary.

Each day’s April Fools

To your neighborhood fairy.
