Have you heard of the Wag of the Wa?
The most mysterious fairy I ever saw
Invoke him by swinging a pot hook
Drink anything stronger than ale
and he'll give you a dirty look
He'll cough angrily if you get drunk
Leave a messy house, and you'll
be out of luck
Don't be too appalled by his looks
A grisly old man with crooked legs
He has a tail, but he was
born that way
With his bright red coat
You should recognize him plain as day

I like the bouncy, classic nursery rhyme feel this piece has. It certainly embodies the classic themes of Victorian nursery rhymes - all fairies were angry in those days, especially at drunkards. Nice job!
