The dody fairy

Joe my son's idea written for my two year old who will soon be having a visit.

The dody fairy's coming

She's visiting our house

She'll be landing in the night time

As quiet as a mouse

Why's she coming mummy

What she gunna do

I have a dody already

Is she bringing number two?

She doesn't bring you more

This is really hard to say

But she comes to see the big kids

To take dodys away

Oh mummy she can't do that

I need it when I sleep

I like it when I'm tired

Without it I'll just weep

You really shouldn't worry

It's a very special visit

She also brings a present

That's not so bad now is it?

I like a present mummy

You know I like new stuff

But swapping for my dummy

That seems a little tough

She'll take it to a better place

Where dodys play and live

Doesn't that sound nice now

Come, would you like to give?

It sounds very unusual

I think I'd like to go

Is Dodyland like Disneyland

Please tell me what you know

Well, each dummy grows a smiley face

And looks a lot like its owner

It grows tiny arms and legs

And develops its own persona

The dummys get a little house

With a garden at the rear

They lives in twos, pinks and blues

quite happily I hear

They spend their time remembering

The time you kept them close

They share their happy memories

Of the one who loved them most

As much as they love their owners

They know that life moves on

And know that you'll grow big and strong

After they have gone

They want you to be happy

and always make a pact

That if you miss them after two whole weeks

They'll promise to come back

Okay I think I understand

But before I make the shift

Can we have a chat now

About the little gift

Now the dummy means a lot to me

And quite a lot to you

It's you that got me hooked on it

You're responsible here too

Now I'm quite bright for a two year old

My decisions aren't so rash

I want something of value

You're going to spend your cash

So mummy spoiled her treasure

And felt a little guilt

The dody disappeared that night

Presents lay on the quilt

In a matter of just days

The memories were all distant

The dody fairy took the dummies

And we really didn't miss them.

I'm grinning like an idiot reading this. What a great story, and what a clever child. I love the idea of dodyland - really clever. Top marks from me.
