Not Wanting To Go

On eve of Christmas day

did fairies come to play

With the decorations on display

there in candle’s light array

When on this enchanted night

crept out to take flight

In a Christmas wonderland delight

gazing at their joyous sight

When time came to go

before day’s light could grow

The little fairy Susie-s0-so

told her mother “Oh no, no!

There is just no way

that I’m going back today

Here’s where I wanna stay

to see faces merry & gay!”

Mother fairy was most adamant

and looked at her askant

While saying, “No you can’t,

this wish I’ll not grant.”

As Susie stomped her feet

refusing mother’s eyes to meet

In defiance took a seat

with a scowling face replete

For this was no excuse

but saying “It’s no use.

To  go I now refuse

see how I have the blues!”

This time of Christmas bliss

mother having none of this

With her hand didn’t miss

giving Susie’s backside a kiss

As she began to cry

mother just wanted to die

Asking Susie, “Why, oh why,

did you choose to defy?”

“I only wanted to see

the children oh so happy

When they come running to be

 gathered around their Christmas tree!

And share the magic moment

when opening up their present

To hear all their excitement

would give me such enjoyment!”

This made mother so sad

that she had gotten mad

And that she ever had

spanked Susie for being bad

“Okay then we will hide

to observe the yule tide

As presents they all divide

to see what is inside

But then we must flee

before they ever see

Either of you or me

then will you be happy?”

Susie jumped with such joy

that nothing could ever destroy

To see the girl and boy

receive their Christmas toy

“Oh mamma, mamma thank you

and I do promise to

Go back when they’re through

thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

On

But

one also adored

For

you did afford!
