Well as I’m roamin’ thru the gloamin’ serenading to myself.. In amongst the purple heathers I was startled by an Elf..he looked right up to me as he shouted “please have you kindly got the time?” He said “ I pray you appreciate poetic verse as I only talk in rhyme”

Of course I was so shocked at such strangeness of this Sprite that I’d just seen..infact I almost missed his vision he was camouflaged all in green..and his hideous hat was purple just like a sprig of heather..he held a dandeleon upside down as a parasol for the sunny weather..”Time to do what ?” I crouched a little low..and then he smiled at me with such a sweetness and his eyes were all aglow..

“Oh b’gibbers, I think you misunderstood.. I was merely meaning what time is it now tho I hope I wasn’t rude” “You see I am waiting on my Fairy friend..we are going on a date.. and my blows on my dandelion clock suggest that she is late!!” “Oh I beg your pardon it is half past two..then a flimsy, fragile Fairy landed from out of the blue..Well I was frightfully flabberghasted I have to say..but then he cocked his tiny hat to the side and he bid me “Gudday”
