Fairydust Martinis
It was in all of the
"Wonder-land" newspapers
how a fairy commited suicide by
diving into a martini
The drinkee
being oblivious
to this invisible death
just kept on drinking
not thinking of fairydust,
but only assuming it was
sparkling from the moon
and, the mouth tingling
obligatory olive
Some-one in "Wonderland"
wrote a small obituary
to remember her
riding to eternity
on a dragonfly's wings
And if the moral to this story
isn't obvious, you must,
when drinking martinis under moonlight
watch out
for suicidal fairies
