CHRISTMAS FAIRY I am a little fairy On tap o' the Christmas Tree It's no' a job I fancy Well how would you like tae be me? A'm tarted up wi' tinsel It's enough to mak ye boak An a couple o' jaggy branches Rammed up the back o' your froack. An' wi'a' these lights a'roon me I canna get my sleep An' there's the yearly visit Fae Santa - Big fat creep! On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here While you're a a'wirin' in An' naebody says "Hey you up there,- Could you go a slug o' gin? It's nae joke bein' a fairy The job's beyond belief Ye go 'roon and 'roon the bairnies beds An' lift their rotten teeth. But o' a' the joabs a fairy gets An' I've mentioned only some, The very worst is up a tree Wi' pine needles up yir bum. When a' the fairies meet again By the light of' the silvery moon, Ye can tell the Christmas fairies - They're thewans that canna sit doon. The Christmas tree's a bonny sight As the firelight softly flickers But think o' me,- A'm stuck up here Wi' needles in my knickers ! So soon as Christmas time's right by An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer I'll get awa back tae Fairyland An' Ah'll see yous a' next year.
Good grief! Did you write that? When I think of a "tree fairy," I think of Shakespeare's The Tempest: Ariel, but that's funny.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose… Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
Love the story of the tree fairy, from a Christmas Grintch I give you a hearty "Bah Humbug" or if I have one to many Egg-Nogs "Hah Bumhug". Check out alternative Chrismas Tunes, "Chipmunks roasting on an open fire" or "I am Santa Claus". Holiday Greetings To All. Dave
