I agree with Ed and Rufuz, sometimes, we all need a little cheering. Though, picturing little Eddie nekkid in the bushes...lol..lol...really did it for me! err..ahem...Here are my efforts at one of those "happy little ditties".
----------------------------------------
I gave the world a song today
I gave the world a smile
And something magic happened
That I’d not seen in quite a while
Faylee the fairy appeared just then
And sprinkled stardust all around
She started in the heavens
Then spread it on the ground
And everywhere the stardust fell
A wondrous sight I saw
Mystical little fairy creatures
Not more than three inches tall
Held hands all in unison
While dancing merrily
Singing happy smiley songs
And for all the world to see
Not since I was a child had I
Seen Faylee and her friends
I couldn’t help but ask just how
Puff the magic dragon had been.
She said he still visits Honolee
But since Jackie had become a man
Puff now plays with other children
In far away distant lands.
Now we must leave, Faylee said
And don’t wait such a long while
To greet the world as you did today
With such a song and smile.
Sounds like my scene alright, Leah... I'm just not sure I have ever really left Neverland - or perhaps the problem is that I have never yet arrived... and I've bin travellin ALL night!! :)) Delightful for us kids of all ages. TY Kate xx
A delightful poem, Leah - I truly believe that no matter how old we get, we should let our 'inner child' out once in awhile to play - I think it makes life a lot more fun. (Mine seems to come out quite often!!)
Love the wisdom you have shared in this uplifting write!
Yup next year at this time I am traveling by day to Ed's K home; setting up camp and when he comes out in his "natural" I'll say, "Happy Birthday!" as his neighbour screams again.
A delightful tale of whimsy Leah, and yes the world needs lots more of it and getting in touch with the little ones! Thanks for a joyful poem, well done!
I have many friends that are "fairies" though they prefer we use the term "gay", and I have never seen them dance around hand in hand though they had their hands doing other things...as for Puff, I thought he was more of a mythical beast toking on the weeds that grew in his cave...;) ed
