Cottage Fairies
Cottage Fairies have a funny way
of playing in empty homes they say.
They sing and laugh and romp all day,
but for their mischief they gladly pay.
These little imps will dance and shout
moving tables and chairs about;
so it isn’t odd for an owner to find
a coin or 2 Fairies leave behind
But one warning, dear reader, I must give…
take heed, no matter how long you live,
never ever complain about the money
cause the Fairies tell the Elves
and the Elves tell the Trolls
and the Trolls aren’t funny
