Fairy Stories
Human in appearance and child-like inside
They don't use wings but magic and some faith to help them fly
Are they demoted angels or some demon of the trees?
A pocketful of fairy dust is bound to make you sneeze
The first laugh from a baby breaks, escaping smashed and torn
Into a million trillion laughters, that's how the fairy's born
Are they the thief of teeth, or the bearers of good news
In snow they make no footprints cos they never wear their shoes
Do they live near woods and rivers, or perhaps a waterfall?
Do they communicate in whispers, or with tiny bells and horns?
Are they just a toy of Disney, big fat fake old Tinkerbell
Or was he kidnapped by real fairies and put under their spell?
But unlike Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill with their pale
There's something about fairies that's not just a fairy tale.
