The Fae
Everyone thinks fairies
Are not very scary
They seem so sweet
A delight to meet
So petite and tiny
So glittery and shiny
With fluttery wings
And voices to sing
And of course a must
Their magic fairy dust!
So, you’d be surprised to hear
There is a lot to fear
From these little mites
And their love of fights
They look so nice
But you better look twice
They are mean and spiteful
Not happy and delightful
They can be oh so cruel
They can be stubborn as a mule
They like to punch and kick
They love to make children sick
They like to pull your hair
If it hurts they don’t care
They will scratch your face
They will invade your space
Yell in your ear
Laugh at your tears
Get you in trouble
Your ums temper will bubble
They will break your things
Pinch till it stings
Invite a big mouse
To cause havoc in your house
Make your food decay
In less than a day
Open the door
Pour mud on the floor
But the worst thing they will do
Is try to take…You
Don’t be fooled by their charm
These creatures mean you harm
Babies they want to take
In their place leave a mistake
It’s eyes so stark
Evil and dark
Pointy little teeth
It beggars belief
Something feral and wild
They leave a Changeling Child
This is the fairies aim
To them it’s just a game
They don’t have much to gain
They just like causing pain
And a babe they will take
Through its heart drive a stake
Leave the little body alone
No feeling in their hearts of stone
In the child’s place they left a beast
And on your fear they will feast
The only way to avoid the Fae
Is to make them go away!
Lock windows and doors at night
If you glimpse that twinkling light
Crush it with hand
This I must demand!
Do not listen to their sweet song
They will lead you away before long
Make sure you cover your ears
Else it will all end in tears
There is one thing you must never do
My darling let me tell you
you must never, never
(And I mean never, ever!)
Tell a fae your given name
It would be such a shame
Giving your name to a Fae
Gives them permission to take you away
If I say ‘Fae my name is Nieve!)
I’ve just g-………..
