Imelda of the Woodland Fae
Imelda would spread her faerie magic
upon the many creatures of the wood;
and like a ball of soft plastic
it one day bounced upon a bunny-hood.
Young bunnies were making daisy chains
amid firefly lit bluebells this eve;
as a rainbow smiled post gentle rain
Imelda pulled a wand from her sleeve.
She blessed these little rabbits, two
that ever contented they might be;
and many lovely daisies they’d accrue
to artistically decorate the woodland trees.
Young Nipsy Belle and Paddy Pim,
twins of the Hares, Laurel and Ted,
were filled with talent to their brim
and made themselves some daisy-beds.
Into their heads Imelda inserted
imaginings by the moon’s light;
and they grew to create assorted
floral sculpted, woody sights.
Topiaries built on tree trunks
crafted from ivy and wildflowers;
they built sunflower bunks
scattered through the woodsy bowers.
Imelda’s magic had them working
day and night, crafting with elated ease;
these bunnies, they were so hardworking
their faerie they did surely please.
