FAIRY SMILE

There's funny little sprite. Such a cunning little mite! He turks beneath the shadow of s,
 joke.
 His name is Fairy Smile lie is full of merry vile All the arts that will a laugh
 provoke.
 He was banished to the earth For arousins too much mirth. When the fairy king was hold
 ing court;
 For the pranks he played that
 day
 Were so Iaughable, they say. That he spoiled the solemn con
 ciave with his sport. So went forth the stern com
 mand:
 Smile be banished from the
 land." But he didn't care d bit. not he, He just jumped upon a pun That was loafng in the sun. And he shook his tiny sides in ------. glee.
 Then he floated down to earth With ripping of mirth. Whose echoes can be heard today. Are you dull. you earth-born
 mortal2
 Just fling wide your gloomy
 portal And write the little joker in to stay.
 Did you ever feel a smile Come and tickle you a while. Till you couldn't do a thing but
 grin?
 Its that sportive little elf Just eXerting his small self. And you'd better open up and let
 him in.
 For he finds his way to places Where are dark and doleful
 faces, And his antics will grouch be
 guile
 All the clouds of doubt and care. Soon are conjured into air. By the magic touch of Fairy
