A Fairyland Circus

I glimpsed the clown trumpeter tooting and tottering one day, 

and I listened as all around the grasses began to sway sshhhhh...ssswishhhh...wish...wwwhhooshhh..and...tootootooot! 

the circus, the fairyland circus is coming to play

So full of joy came the dancers of blue, 

On their fantabulistic penny farthing around which butterflies flew, 

the magic of their atmosphere pulled me along, 

their power to enchant especially strong

In the warm stone breath of a sunlit windowsill they paused to dance, 

practicing shadow play with the butterflies, everything patterned by chance 

Then...

Run run through the meadow to invite her friend,

'Wait wait let me show you my skill of pretend'

Oh marvel... a magic rose wand waved like that

will invite a dear bunny from out of a hat

When day upon day rain came helter skelter, 

and the circus troop vanished, under leaves to shelter

To one royal pair the tippetty tap 'wake up!' called, 

flippety flap little one take care to fly and not fall

Alas the candy floss lady would not venture out in the still damp air, 

for she said the moisture would spoil her fancy fare

Soon the sun came again brining shimmer and glimmer 

And the circus children helped decide which sweet fluffy recipe was the winner

Lastly.... stepping lightly from another morning's purply brume

treading softly across petals came the teller of wonder-full fortunes

♬♪❅☽❀♪♫

With magical mystery, with joyous jollity, with royal revelry and delicious delicacy, 

they have gathered as is told in fairyland legend of old. 

Once in the time of a six hundredth dandelion puff 

Bringing all they have lived betwixt to create true enough... 

Processing they come 

tiddlium tum ta dum 

Today today 

is the day 

that the circus will play

All around about fairies dwellers tiptoe out

The wee ones peep, they point, and the peer 

and very soon hearts enraptured they all gather near

Oh clown's shoes do the talking, jokes and hilarity in their walking

So soon twisting and twirling in air born pirouettes

Fairy tumblers and dancers have wings, so need no nets

'Do let me introduce you' 

says the mysterious being of blue

'This fair fortune teller will wish your wishes true' 

Now.... 

sweet treats in the interval 

are most deliciously beneficial 

light mouthfuls of frivolity

go hand in had with circus jollity

With mouths full of merriment they all gather back....

 Oh magical magician, who will hop from your hat?

 and what better way to make friends with a bunny
than to share something pink and delightingly yummy

Thus it ends

dearest friends

and so now 

take a bow 

Such a show

our hearts glow

and we wish you so well...

Each will go 

as adventuring winds blow

where and when who can tell 

 Till perhaps, in the moment of a six hundredth dandelion puff 

They will share once again, as foretold in fairyland legend of old, 

circus wonder that will, as ever and always be enough
