Fairy O'Mairey
Fairy O’Mairey
(Who is truly quite scary)
Once ate a canary
That was still in its cage
It belonged to her brother
His name was Salieri
(After Mozart’s contemporary)
Though mostly called ‘Sweary’
By every Tam, Duck and Hairy
And all of the other
Members of his clientage
He is even more scary
A cruel adversary
Entirely mercenary
With a terrible rage
Which is legendary
As most arbitrary
And unleashed on the unwary
For one thing or tother
Causing terrible damage
Despite appearances Sweary
Was fond of the canary
(And didn’t want the expense of buying another)
Kicked Fairy up the backside until she brought up the cage
With its slightly acid-eaten but still singing baggage
A disconsolate Fairy
Ran crying to her mother
Who placed a bookmark at her current page
And assuming the facial demeanour of a sage
Said, 'Stop bawling Fairy!
Please act your age!'
