Her toenails are as thick as a tortoise shell
She does not hesitate to tell
Potentials suitors to go to h…..
She has not been to charm school, says Cousin Kell
Tough old bird with opinions most would never tell
can perplex and stuplify with one old world spell
we are fascinated yet terrified by our grandma Nell
She calls us to supper with a possessed dinner bell
He leaped upon the stairwell,
He rolled in our chimney soot
He jumped around, my doggie Kell,
He was always under foot
We fell over as we tried to leave
For he was always the first one out
Irritating our neighbor, Miss Beave
Who always gave a shout
You know he is excited, mom would say
Just let him go first, he’s going to anyway.
Kell was my dog, and full of joy and love
Enthusiasm oozed from his maker above.
Kell leaped and jumped and rolled when young
When older, he began to rest, taking lots of little sleeps.
I miss his younger days, when we had so much fun,
And he rolled over me and made those puppy leaps.
elfin faerie, what a doll.
Blueberry vine adorns a wall.
my mushroom dreams, here to stay
in verdant forest, far away.
faerie princess, you do excel
give your all, extremely well.
never a plot, rarely a ploy.
in dreams of little girl or boy.
sweet wind is flying, in the kell.
tingling prettily, silver bell,
branches tingling, in the flow.
elfin faerie, one to know
if she cannot help, no one can
she was born from promise land
press that tiny silver ball,
elfin faerie's doorbell, small.
so stand straight, and honest be.
mushroom dreams, for you and me.
elfin faerie, what a doll.
opens door, embraces all.
