Believe In Fairies
It was our baking day, And cook, as people say, Was in a terrible mood Because in the house was no food. Into the kitchen I ran, “Say, cook, please if you can, Tell me where Fairies stay For I’ll find them out some day.” “Fairies! Poof—who are they? Not so true, I should say, So go away with you, see, And don’t come pestering me.” Arrived at the dairy door, I met the maid, Eleanor. “Do you know where fairies are?” “No, get out and mind that jar!” “Well, I will go and ask mother. . She’ll be sure to say the other.” “Mother, when are fairies born?” “Why, dear, at early morn.” Satisfaction at last! My heart beats brisk and fast, And the world’s oh! so airy— For I will see a fairy! —Cousin Ngaire Horrell (12), “Fairview,” Mandeville.
