A Scottish Christmas Fairy Poem

A Scottish Fairy

I am a wee little fairy
On tap o’ the Christmas tree
It’s no’ a job I fancy
Well how would you like tae be me

A' tarted up wi’ tinsel
It’s enough to mak ye boak
An a couple of jaggy branches
Rammed up the back o’ your frock.

An these wee lights a’ roon me
I canna get my sleep
An’ there’s the yearly visit
Fae Santa – big fat creep.

On Christmas Day I’m stuck up here
While you’re wiring in
An’ naebodoy says, Hey you up there
Could you go a slug o’gin?

The Christmas Tree’s a bonney sight
As the firelight softly flickers
But think o’me – I’m stuck up here
Wi’ needles in my knickers.

Whoever wrote that shows promise. Another couple of years and plenty of practise who knows they could get close to my standard .

Very good.

A quotation from Cpl Jones in "Dad's Army" seems relevant: "They don't like it up 'em!!!!"

Re: A Scottish Christmas Fairy Poem

I am glad you like it. It wasn't me who wrote it but someone in Scotland.
Coming from Yorkshire it sounds a lot like the words of that language too.
Lovely idea of a fairy miffed at the fun around her.
