IF-

by I SLA BLAIR, aged 11 years 6 months

If 1 was a fairy with soft gauzy wings, I'd fly to the North in circling rings, Because it's a land of ice and of snoiv And I'm sure it's the land where icecreams grow. If I was an elf in a little green cap, And. lived in a tree to cat sweet sap, I'd fly about on the bach of a bee And see all the things that I long to see. But if I was a fairy godmother, though, I'd know all the things that I wanted to know; I'd mount on the top of a twinkling star, And I'd fly to the place where the sweet dreams are. The sweetest and best I'd pat in a sack, And I'd mount in the air with the sack on my back, And I'd search till I found some unhappy child, And I'd leave it.
