Talk of Leprechauns
My grandkids talk of leprechauns
As if they are alive
And finding one is something
For which both of them do strive.
They know that unicorns aren’t real,
So telling them the truth
Seems easy, but they still believe
A fairy takes their tooth.
Of course, because St.Patrick’s Day
Is right around the bend,
I think I’ll just keep quiet
And let both of them pretend
Since I’m convinced they know deep down
(They’re fourth and second grade)
That their belief in leprechauns
Will soon begin to fade.
