There are Fairies at the bottom of my garden

And they visit every evening for a dance

They are lovely to behold and very welcome

I just wish they didn’t trample on my plants

Their favourite dance appears to be the Salsa

They do it with such style and aplomb

Much better than last week when they were jivin’

It appeared they’d hit the garden with a bomb

So I do believe in Fairies, ‘cos I’ve seen them

And every night I watch them, in a trance

They are graceful and delightful and enchanting

“Oi, Tinkerbell, get off my bloody plants”

Delightfully zany.

On form, too. The bad thing isn't your poem; the bad thing is that your poem is gonna go unappreciated. It's too light of heart, too whimsical, too joyous---pah! a poet without a scowl or a howl? Heresy! But, one heretic to another, let me congratulate you for having wrought a nice offering to the gods who laugh. Perry

I've come to look forward to your writes of whimsy, because I can always count on them to bring a smile to my face.

Thanks Jess, you know I had to include "I do believe in Fairies" because I would hate to be responsible for even one death, John

I had thought of starting a fairy preservation society, until somebody pointed out that it might attract the wrong sort of people, glad it brought a smile to your face. John
