Dandy-Puffs
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Fairies have such lovely clocks.
To tell the time of day,
Dandelions puffs they blow.
"What's the time?" they day.
"One o'clock,
Two o'clock,
Two's the time for play.
So we'll make it two o'clock"
And then they dance away.
They can make it any time
That they truly please.
All the most unpleasant hours
From their lives they squeeze.
"Two o'clock,
Three o'clock.
Four is the time for teas.
So we'll make it four o'clock,
And sit and take our ease."
If an elf has got to meet
A goblin that he doesn't like
At six o'clock, he'll find a clock
And blow with all his might.
"Five o'clock....".
Then he stops, and so
It remains at five o'clock,
And he doesn't have to go.
But when it's a party day,
And there are still hours to wait,
He will make the poor old clock
Go at an even faster rate.
Four, five, six,
Seven o'clock.
The party starts at eight.
So he makes it eight o'clock,
And runs, in case he's late!
