(Selected) Daddy goes a’riding. In a motor painted grey, He makes a lot of noise Before he gets away. The fairies go a’riding When they wish to take their ease— The fairies go .a’riding On the backs of bumble bees. Daddy goes availing In a jolly wooden boat, He takes a lot of tackle And his very oldest ;oat The fairies go a’sailing, And I wonder they get home— The fairies go a’sailing On a little scrap of foam. Daddy goes a’climbing With a knapsack and a stick, The rocks are very hard His boots are very thick. But the fairies go a’climbing. (I’ve seen them in their crowds) The fairies go a’climbing - On the mountains in the clouds. —Sent in by Elliot Nuttall,. Harakeke.
