House Fairy Gone Missing

Where the heck is the house fairy?

She has plenty of work to do.

The kitchen is crying for a really good scrub.

Actually, the bathroom is too.

Every flat surface is covered with stuff.

Papers and books all over the place.

I saw a dust bunny run over my foot.

Then he got up in my face.

My floors are begging for a vigorous sweep.

The rugs would like a good beating.

I know I had this place cleaned up.

But alas, the memory is fleeting.

House fairy, I need you and beg you to come.

Dig me out of this clutter filled hole.

Take away the shoes and the baskets of clothes.

This mess is taking it's toll.

It will never get this way again.

I promise with all of my heart.

I just need you to help me out

and give me a running  head start.

Linda R. Sep 4, 2006, 2:36pm EDT
I don't know what's the matter with that house fairy. She's been missing us lately too. Do you have her cell number?
STEFANIA S. Sep 4, 2006, 2:47pm EDT
WHEN YOU FIND THAT HOUSE FAIRY SEND HER THIS WAY, PLEASE!!!!
Marsha B. Sep 4, 2006, 2:50pm EDT
LOL I can't wait for the house fairy. I hired a house keeper instead. ;-)
Julie L. Sep 4, 2006, 2:57pm EDT
I tell you I think that the house fairy has gone on permanent vacation. She keeps missing my house too. Her and her sister (the laundry fairy) need to get back to their responsibilities!!!!!! Geez having to do their work takes time away from my gather time and that ticks me off LOL so when you see them tell them to get their sorry butts back to work so that i can spend more time here LOL
William M. Sep 4, 2006, 3:15pm EDT

Sandra L. Sep 4, 2006, 3:28pm EDT
Thank you William. You are sweet. Sadly, it's all true! LOL

La Lady Lisa Westerfield Sep 8, 2006, 6:24pm EDT
This is the sort of poetry I enjoy, the whimsical stuff. I loved it!
Sandra L. Sep 8, 2006, 8:27pm EDT
Thank you La Lady
Dawn M Sep 10, 2006, 8:04pm EDT
I could use that house fairy as well. Gee I don't know why Gather can't supply us all with one especially when we spend so much time on here. lol
Tristan M. Sep 11, 2006, 12:35am EDT
Funny Mom!! I don't think I've ever seen the house ferry come to your house!!!
Ruth N. Sep 22, 2006, 6:00am EDT
House ferries needs to go on leave too you know, so give them some time they are on a vacation. Mybe you should try thanking them for all the time they were hallping you, then they will come back sooner. This is very nice.
Sandra L. Sep 22, 2006, 11:15pm EDT
Thank you Ruth.
Amy just hangin' out M. Sep 24, 2006, 2:41pm EDT
Very cute! I need a house fairy. Wonder if I would get any responses if I placed an add for one? LOL
Sandra L. Sep 24, 2006, 9:02pm EDT
If that works for you, let me know. Just yesterday I paid my 20 year old daughter to pick up the mess and most of it is hers. LOL
Pamela G. Sep 26, 2006, 4:27am EDT
Great Name for a cleaning company-great poem.
jessie voigts Sep 27, 2006, 9:58pm EDT

Sandra L. Sep 27, 2006, 11:06pm EDT
Pamela, I have thought of it, but I don't want to clean my own house, much less somebody elses. LOL
Jessie, who'd have thought the little brats would have a union. Ha ha
Ladybounty ~. Oct 8, 2006, 1:29pm EDT

Cat Givens Oct 8, 2006, 8:22pm EDT
Sandra, I think you are mistakenly describing MY house.

heeeeeeeeerrrrrre, Fairy Fairy Fairy
Sandra L. Oct 9, 2006, 10:41am EDT
LOL
Cat, I'm pretty sure this mess I am surrounded by is mine, but you are more than welcome to it. I warn you though, the mess regenerates it's self. Kind of like some animals regenerate limbs.
Susan A. Oct 12, 2006, 7:49am EDT
Mine is on a sabbatical
~~ Sarina ~~ Oct 13, 2006, 8:17am EDT
I married Felix Unger.....
Sandra L. Oct 14, 2006, 12:04am EDT
Sarina, you are a lucky girl. Mine does laundry and cooks, but don't ask him to dust!
Susan A. Oct 16, 2006, 7:26am EDT
Well, she's not at my house-

Adorable poem
amanda wallin Oct 16, 2006, 12:31pm EDT
Clever. It reminds me of "Sarah cynthia, sylvia, stout....". Does the fairy leave any money under your fluffed pillwcase?
Sandra L. Oct 16, 2006, 10:39pm EDT
Let me look - nope. no money.
Thanks ladies. I appreciate your comments.
Jewel Hughes Oct 21, 2006, 1:05am EDT
Do house fairies travel????
Sandra L. Oct 21, 2006, 8:17pm EDT
Not to my house they don't!!!!
Leanarda S. Nov 6, 2006, 11:45am EST
Cute poem!
Vera B. Jan 16, 2008, 3:27pm EST
This is just what I'm looking for, a prayer. I need help here. I'm still putting Christmas decorations away.
Marsha F. Jun 17, 2008, 9:16am EDT
Love the poem!! So cute and so true! My house fairy took off with some guy and went to live life as a beach bum couple.
Sandra L. Jun 17, 2008, 11:11pm EDT
