The Curious Chaos of Fairyland 🍄

Deep in the woods, where mushrooms talk,
Where trees can giggle, where squirrels walk,

A fairy realm, both wild and bright,
With spells gone wrong, oh what a sight!

The fairy king, a grumpy chap,
Sat on his throne—a mushroom cap.

His crown too big, his wand too small,
Yet still he ruled them, one and all!

A fairy sneezed—oh dear, oh no!
She turned a frog into a crow.

The crow then cawed, “What’s this disgrace?
I much preferred my froggy face!”

The fairy knights, with swords so thin,
Fought off a breeze and hoped to win.

They challenged clouds to duels of air,
But lost each time—oh, life’s unfair!

The wizard owl, wise and old,
Forgot his spells but looked quite bold.

He mumbled words both long and strange,
And turned his beard to bright orange!

The moon looked down and softly sighed,
“What nonsense fills this forest wide?”

But fairies danced, and sang with glee—glee
For magic, mad, is magic free!

Now tell me, do you dare explore
This forest full of fairy lore?

Just mind your spells, and watch your feet,
For fairy tricks are never neat!
