AT THE BOTTOM OF MY GARDEN

AT THE BOTTOM OF MY GARDEN

.


What kind of bells do fairies prefer?


Silver or Gold?


How can we know, who can tell us?


We could ask a self identified Fairyologist


Someone who has studied fairies extensively


But half of them say definitively silver, the other half gold


In fact no one has actually seen a fairy to check their bells


We can not prove fairies even exist


There are those firm in their beliefs


That they are the fairy experts


Having read every book and treatise on fairies


Books which are rather unclear or self-contradictory 


On the life and preferences of fairies


If we can't rely on Fairyologists


We have no way of knowing what fairies want


Or what they consider to be an abomination 


We have to make up our own minds about fairy lore


But one thing we know for sure


It is ridiculous to get in a fist fight or war


Having people suffer and die over whether fairies


Want silver or gold bells.
