Playful Pixies

I thought I saw a pixie

Wading in the stream

I pinched myself to be sure

It wasn’t just a dream

 

I crept forward on my tippy-toes

And wondered what I’d see

He bowed his head, took off his hat

And placed it in a tree

 

But before I could get too close

The pixie tumbled in

He got back up with a shout

Then he began to grin

 

I thought he may have seen my face

But hoped it wasn’t true

He smiled, he laughed, he jumped back in

And swam in water blue

 

Then pixies came from here abouts

Drawn by all the noise

The girls had fun squealing loud

And chasing all the boys

 

The revelry had now begun

It lasted into the night

They danced under the clear full moon

Which shone on them with might

 

Oh what a joy it was to watch

The pixies laugh and sing

The wonderment that they found

In each and every thing

 

I’m glad I saw a pixie

Wading in the stream

Now I know and I am sure

They are more than just a dream.
