With Her Halo All Askew

No butterflies at Christmas time, you and I know why they'd freeze their wings and wouldn't stand a chance inside this wintry Palace of snow and fanfare glow. But little Suz with her happy trails of dreams galore asked Santa for a butterfly, she wanted nothing more. One with summer wings that could dart, flit, and fly one that could light the room like a cloudless blue sky one that could take her away to a place oh, so high. Upon this firmament of earth what would a holiday be without the assistance of a magic fairy's glee So, it was on that diamond studded Holy night that a fairy appeared wearing wings way too tight she nipped at her pillow and whispered in her ear "Help me get these pinions off, won't you be a dear!" Little Suz with eyes so big touched the spongy wings of blue they were warm and cradle soft, filled with morning dew Soon the fairy left her side off to Netherland she flew to get another pair of wings, with her Halo all askew.
