About the Poem

I sometimes write two versions of the same poem, one for children and one for adults. There are two versions of this Christmas poem and what's really odd is that the version for children is much ruder than the version for adults.

The Christmas Fairy

I sit atop your Christmas tree,
All clad in pink, a real fairy.
The reason I appear so glum,
The sprig of spruce stuck up my bum.
