The Ugly Fairy
My mother would tell a story, when I was only three,
she would pick me up gently, and sit me upon her knee.
The story told of a wee sweet little fairy, named Emily,
who lived in an English rose garden with her family.
Now Emily wasn't pretty, but she had a heart of gold,
she would daydream of finding, her own true love to hold.
Living across the meadow from an English country home,
it was said to be empty except for, a mean little gnome.
One day while flying in the meadow, a storm began to brew,
raindrops fell upon her wings, the wind was blowing too.
When the storm was over, she was far away from home.
she had fallen into the arms of, an ugly little gnome,
The gnome was ugly but she thought he looked hot,
though he was short and chubby, she really liked him a lot.
Emily said the sun is setting and it is time for me to go,
he said to Emily," there is something you should know.
My name is Ian and I have always watched you from afar,
I would sneak across the meadow and wonder who you are.
Whenever you were unhappy, I watched you cry your tears,
you looked so very beautiful, I have loved you for years.
Well the story has a happy ending, Emily found true love,
on their wedding day a rainbow streamed down from above.
Emily and Ian are still happy, in the empty country home,
people stare at their children, they never saw flying gnomes.
