Fairy Poet Laureate.

 

Fairy Poet Laureate.

 

The fairies have taken me abroad to Elfin Land,

Here I was presented with a wide golden band.

I had it seems won the very top literary prize.

I now hold my head very high in the fairy skies.

My rhyming poems have pleased the Fairy Queen.

Such a prolific writer as me she has never before seen.

Rhyming poems and short fairy stories come from my pen.

I have written about the little people every now and then.

I have also been asked to teach at their college.

Fill the little fairy heads with my vast knowledge.

This is a job that would I am sure me please,

but what if the fairies are trying me to tease?

There are quite a few leprechauns as pupils you know.

And we all know how they will try to steal the show.

I have also been offered the title of Fairy Poet Laureate.

I have never owned a title like this before you can bet.

All this attention is going to my grey old head.

Very soon now I will go off to my hotel bed.

The fairies have placed me in a five star hotel.

I am an honoured guest as one can surely tell.

The food and drink is really first class.

I tell myself as I drink yet another glass.

Suddenly I awoke I was in my own bed.

Nonsense was going on in my poor old head.

Upon opening my eyes I saw the wide golden band.

I had really been staying in wonderful Fairy Land.

On my table there was a certificate with Ink still wet.

I was now the only Human Fairy Poet Laureate.

Upon reading this I closed my tired old eyes.

The fairies were always good for a big surprise.
