"Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!" (W.B. Yeats)

A for a fairy:
A fairy went a-marketing
She bought a little mouse
To take her tiny messages
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to & fro
And then she kissed its tiny ears
Thanked it & let it go.
(🖋️R Fyleman 🎨CM Barker)
