Where Are the Prepositions

Full moon brownies are breaking up adjectives
in the fairy land of poetry
Mushroom elves ignore their efforts.
They have nouns to chop up

Leprechauns toss some lively verbs
Owl rolls her eyes,
Although this is just the usual evening
At the fairy land of poetry

Colloquialisms? What? Why? Queen Faerie asks.
Her consorts do not know, but they have heard of them.
So now they want them.
She scoffs at their crazy notion.

Where are the prepositions? the Queen demands.
What kind of castle would it be without them?
Over the rafters, under the eaves, and in the water?
Moat faerie laughs because she has hidden the prepositions.
