And so the two Fairies continued to make there way back home They had an epic, adventurous story to write It will take them all of this sunny day and maybe well into the chilly night
To win the Golden Rose at last Would make their little hearts sing But the Elves are truly awesome There stories always had so much bling
They now had everything they needed To make their wonderful tale stand out So they sat down at their elaborate, chiseled table Then heard a scream and a shout
Behind them jumping like a jelly bean Was a green, bearded little elf He had banged his big fat head On the outside planting shelf
"What do you think your doing?" cried Hairy to the elf so green "I ..I ...was sent to spy on your ideas" "I'm sorry but they're being so mean."
"Who sent you? " said Mary Fairy "And what is it you seek?" "I was told to listen to your tale And report back within the week."
"My, oh my, how could they stoop so low" This was a twist to the tale "They've run out of ideas" he pleaded "They have nothing new to unveil."
So the little green elf, duly scolded Returned to the enchanted wood And told the great writing Elves That the Fairies are far too good
It was a desperate act by the Elves With no more ideas to share They wanted to keep the Golden Rose They'd do anything, they didn't care
They knew the two Fairies had it all With so many exciting words to write But they also realised, the only way to win Was to be honest and do it right.
