The Fairies of South Lafayette Street
Near the edge of a city,
on South Lafayette Street,
sits a quaint little cottage and three apple trees.
The walkway is lined with foliage galore,
and there you'll find tulips,
Russian sage, orange poppies and more!
Many years ago
the cottage was sold.
The woman who'd owned it
had gotten too old,
to care for the flowers
and bushes she'd planted,
and the apples that grew
were too much to handle.
She needed someone
who would pull all of the weeds,
pick the ripe apples,
and tidy the yard;
well, what was the problem?
That didn't sound hard!
There was just one other thing
the old woman needed:
someone who would treat
the creaky, quaint cottage
the way it truly
deserved to be treated!
For not many knew this,
And still, few know today,
This little old cottage
is a whimsical place!
Past the painted-shut windows,
the cobwebs and rust,
the old woman had hidden
magic pixie dust!
