Bern's Fairy Poems. An Extra Room.
I have had to build on a large new room to my old house.
The house was getting too small for me and family mouse.
What with the leprechauns, Pixies and Trolls that come to stay.
My old house is open to all that happen to come my way.
I just want one room all to myself where I can be just me.
A place where I can sit and enjoy my many cups of tea.
The leprechauns built the solid walls of stone and brick,
It gave them all something to do which was quite a trick.
I have big windows all made with much coloured glass.
The door handles are of brightly polished old brass.
In my new room I have placed an armchair comfy and new.
Also a brown leather settee, which is for some one like you.
You are all most cordially invited to my large old house.
Mind you, you must be extra nice to my family mouse.
If you are lucky the fairies will be waiting in the hall for you.
Into my new room they will quickly usher you all through.
Do not be surprised at the tricks they might on you play.
It is something they do to people nearly every long day.
If they should invite you to play with them in my upstairs attic.
The person in charge is my friend an old Bear quite rheumatic.
The fairies love to play with water I must warn you visitors all.
Sometimes it is better to suggest that you all play with a ball.
On very special occasions a young Dragon will pop on by.
He might even offer you the chance with him in the sky to fly.
When you come please make sure no one is following you.
Look out for witches that are dressed in the darkest of blue.
When you all come I promise you all a very good time.
Even better than what you might see in this my poor rhyme.
All may drink of my fresh brewed beer and eat sausage rolls.
You may even get to dance with one of my fairly ugly Trolls.
I will expect you all on any bright day of this coming week.
For I happen to know that the sweet fairies you all seek.
