Other Fairies

People smile and laugh at me

When I point to fairies in that tree

Winter’s stripped the branches bare

Look! can’t you see them playing there

 

Alas but not to my surprise

They don’t appear to other eyes

 

But

Our dog (labrador pointer pup)

Is stood quite still, her tail’s up

Her eyes are fixed, her paw is raised

It’s not just me, Lordy Lordy be praised!

 

Come on pup, time for tea and maybe, if you’re really good, a biscuit.
