Enough of That

There’s a fairy in my garden, Her voice is rather rough And when I asked her for her name She answered, “Fairy Nuff.” “That’s fair enough,” was my reply, “It seems to suit you well.” “Oh no,” she said “I’m not like that, I’m under someone’s spell. I flirted with a Fairy Prince On last year’s Halloween, And just as luck would have it I upset the Fairy Queen. She said that I’m not Goody Nuff And this of course is true, For she is really rather posh And very well-to-do. The Fairy Queen just waved her wand And said she’d had enough, How dare I try to steal her son! So now I’m Fairy Gruff. My voice was always crystal clear And I could sing so well But now I croak pathetically, A cracked and worn-out bell. Well fancy that, just look who’s here, My very handsome Prince! We met at your Mum’s party And I haven’t seen you since. Oh yes, my voice! That’s all her fault, Her spells are very good, She thinks I want to win your heart And I would do if I could. You’ve really set my wings on fire With love and admiration But your Mother has the final word, You’re way above my station. You like me, did I hear you say, You care for me as well? Then prove yourself my Fairy Prince And break your Mother’s spell. Yes of course, I’ll stand quite still And close my eyes real tight And when I’m Fairy Nuff again, We’ll set the world alight. Your Mother doesn’t frighten me, She’s really not that mean, We’ll let the strength of our regard Placate the Fairy Queen. We know that love can conquer all, She must have heard that said So when we seek her blessing It’s sure that we will wed.” Once more my garden’s empty Except for flowers and stuff, And it’s very quiet and peaceful But I think that’s fair enough.
