Fluffy Slipper Lint Day

Every day is special, but not all you’d recognize The Fluffy Slipper Lint Day just took me by surprise It occurs in late October, the 26th is set aside When people all over the world celebrate fairies that have died You don’t know about this fairy, the Fluffy Bunny Slipper They’re seldom seen by anyone, for they’re a night time tripper They collect lint from their bellies and insert it in your shoes Or any other footwear that you choose to use But lint found in other places is not because of them They’re strictly slipper fairies, at least they so contend These creatures are so ancient, historians all say Their name predates the cuneiform found in ancient clay The nomenclature “Bunny” comes from their high birth rate They have to make more fairies before it is too late Their death rate is tremendous, the family’s almost gone For often as they’re leaving lint, they just get stomped upon If you’ve nothing else to celebrate on this October day Celebrate the Fluffy Bunny Slipper Fairy in your own peculiar way
