poetry fairy’s gone away

poetry fairy could not stay

more folk to meet

more tales to tell

more wishes in her

wishing well

poetry fairy’s gone away

I hope she comes again one day.

poetry fairy’s left my house

left me alone to grump and grouse

she flapped her airy fairy wings

she always was a flighty thing

she never even waved goodbye

left me alone to have a cry.

now all my thoughts are dull and drab

when once I thought that they were fab

all second hand and second rate

a stoopid poet that’s my fate

poetry fairy’s gone away

I’ll kick her in the teeth one day!
