Fairy
A poem I wrote for my daughter when she was about 5 or 6
Isabella was a fairy with wings and wands and stuff
she looked like butter wouldn’t melt but really was quite tough
she did the things that fairies do like flitting too and fro
dancing around in circles and helping fairy rings to grow
but fairies aren’t always lovely they have another side
a cheeky twinkle in their eye is something they try to hide
and this fairy had a secret that she kept to herself
as it wasn’t very fairylike but more like an elf
even though she was a fairy a fairy with a heart
and loved things pink and fluffy she really liked to fart
it was the thing she did most often of that there is no doubt
it was as if upon demand she could make her bottom shout
a talent with of such rarity that it surely was a gift
and something not to squander but certainly not to be sniffed
sometimes it was a breathy trump that was oh so very quiet
at other times they were so loud that it sounded like a riot
then there was the long one like a role of thunder
with a smell that made you gag and really want to chunder
her absolutist favouritist that made her really proud
was when she’d lift her legs and part her cheeks to make it really loud
