Fairy Facts

Fairies too get thirsty
And one just might come to sup
And linger for a moment
At inviting nectar cup.

If it happens you should see her
Do not take the time to blink,
For a fairy though she's tiny
Is much faster than you think.

She resembles a small hummer
As she dips and darts on high,
Or perhaps you could mistake her
For a lovely butterfly.

If you think your eyes deceive you
Then a secret I shall tell.
You must listen for the tinkle
Of her minute fairy bell.

If you should hear or see her,
Do not dare to look away,
For fantastic, friendly fairies
Do not visit every day.
