How Many Fiddlers In a Faerie Band
How many fiddlers are there in a faerie band?
It was a legitimate question, but I had no idea.
I decided to find out the eve of Summer Solstice.
On this day the faerie orchestra is usually the loudest.
I hid in tall weeds, sitting on a thorn, unfortunately.
I listened with my psychic ears and watched with fox eyes.
The faerie band came along shortly; rustling the violets.
They were dainty, deliberate, deliciously demure and delightful.
Their music was merrily and monstrously melodious.
Their smiles were wider than the western plains.
Their skipping and hopping were so much fun to watch!
I forgot to count the fiddlers until after they were gone.
