Magical Forest

Hey!, are you a sleepyhead
As you nod in your cot bed

Here's a story for you
From this book that is brand new

Magical Forest it is called
With a Gnome whose head is bald

Pointed ears and a red nose
Sniffing a lovely pink rose

See a fairy is inside
No place to play seek and hide

Wake! Wake up! the Gnome did shout
Fairy awoke and flew out

Help me please she said out loud
I fell from a rain cloud

When I slipped in climbing
Painting the silver lining

Cloud burst and my wings got wet
Could not fly away, and yet

A feather floated me down
Into this bud's pollen crown

The Gnome said I know a way
A wishing flute I do play

Nodding said are you ready
Playing a sweet melody

Yes, I shall make a wish now
To be home milking my cow

Then do you know what then passed
No, as you are asleep, at last.
