The Fairies and The Cowboy Part I

- someone left a comment, something about "fairies drool, cowboys rule", the fairies took exception. Can't imagine who would piss off the fairies

 

The Cowboy rode across the land

Upon his noble steed

Of the warnings he’d been told of late

He chose to take no heed

 

He’d heard the legends and the tales

Of fairies far and wide

How gentle they may seem to be

How fast could turn the tide

 

He laughed to think that anyone

Would fear these tiny beings

How fearsome could their magic be

When his thumb outsized their wings?

 

He sang a tune, soft and low

As the moon began to rise

Settled himself upon the ground

Pulled down his hat to cover his eyes

 

An Earth fairy laughed to find him there

Softly snoring in his slumber

Beneath the ground she quickly flew

As the Cowboy dreamt of thunder

 

Mounds of dirt began to rise

Heavy with twigs and rocks

Tossing and turning he struggled to find

A comfortable resting spot

 

Diligently worked the tiny fairy

Silently giggling with mirth

Finishing her assigned duties

Just as dawn lit up the earth

 

The Cowboy mounted his trusted horse

With a long and painful stride

He winced and shifted upon the saddle

Dreading this day’s ride

Ha Ha Ha. That will teach him about messing with fairies. He has to remember also that fairies are friends with most elves and if an elf put you on it enemy list buddy you are in for so major trouble. I loved your story and felt you craft a tale that I would love to see turned into a story. I think it has a wonderful idea and I could so easily see it become a story.


Great Job!!!!!!

Hmmmm.... I wonder who could have left that comment to provoke the fairies, shame on him although he was right :-)

Now as for the poem this is quite creative and fun piece... I just hope those fairies know what there in for.

Lol, Laura, this is a great response to your comment. Definitely gives insight as to why sometimes you just can't find a comfortable spot.

This is fun and lighthearted and the rhythm is flawlessly executed. Go you!
