Boy How She Loves To Bite


She is a flesh devouring fairy who feasts on children 
who dont' wash their hands and primp their toes 
Darkly inclined she lives in the shadows, once bitten  
you will turn as evil as her extra long snubby nose 

Her name is Darkelina and she snickers to herself    
she owns spidery fingers and her teeth are razor sharp  
Sponge em' down, disinfect, scour them clean or else  
she will cleave your little pinkie and stitch it to her harp 

Darkelina Pixie-Meana  thats what they call her Heh ! 
better wash it or hide it before she finds you child 
Gloomy and morose with a dark disposition, its her way 
better tuck them under the covers, for she is crazy wild 

Beyond the twitch of night she can give you such a fright 
shes got teeth with jagged edges, boy how she loves to bite !

EEks! Lol, geez Mystic Rose, I guess if this were a bedtime story little children would add yet another line to the bedtime routine besides "I want a drink of water!" "I need to go potty!" After this tale it would be "I need another bath, mommy, did you wash the bathtub with bleach?"

Loved this fantasy of a fairy. This looks to me as a sonnet.

THIS IS SLAM DOWN EXCELLENT. Loved every bit it of it. Darkelina - how cool. You delivered. The part about 'tuck them under covers' speaks to me, that was my nightmare MO when little. I had to deal with fear as often appeared from my brother on the top bunk and the cowboy and alligator I was sure lived under my bed. You entertained me, dahling ... CayCay
