annoyed with the fey

the elf boy came out of the meadow annoyed with the fey They had not been especially kind to him on this July day Some had jeered and made fun of his overlarge ears His feelings were hurt by these mean sounding jeers the elf boy’s mama could tell by his face That he had not been treated respectfully or with grace This is so sad, she said, it should not have happened for sure Her elf boy stayed away from the meadow which was not pure The fey are usually wonderful, his mama said, and she was right But an evil gargoyle had taken over the meadow and dimmed its light Until the other fey chased him off, the elf boy stayed far away. He did not need bullies to steal his joyfulness, the right of the fey.
