There’s nothing more sneaky than an unclaimed poof!
This is a ditty I wrote some time ago. The illustration that went with it needed a make over though… so here’s the new Fairy Mary!

Ruby Rue
Ruby Rue makes magnificent stew.
Though her secret ingredient nobody knew
Though her secret ingredient nobody knew
Onions and turnips and celery root
Frog legs and toenails and of course eye of newt
Frog legs and toenails and of course eye of newt
Dinner at Ruby’s became all the rage
Her name dropped at parties, the society page
The line for a table became a quite joke
But Ruby was cordial as she pinched and she poked
All things have an ending, just as Ruby feared
The crowds had soon dwindled, her guests disappeared.
“Table for one,” whispered poor Ruby Rue
It’s hard to keep friends when they’re on the menu

Ballerina
Pachyderm Divine!
Come take a chance
And watch her dance
But make sure
You read the sign!
“Front Row Seats Available!”

Orin the Ordinary #3
They all seemed very friendly…. so Orin tried his best.
It’s just that he had things to do. It wasn’t time to rest!
