Leprechaun Elven Fairy Dust
by sloanranger
I was walking in Wal*Mart the other day
heading for the pet department,
when all of a sudden my eyes espied
something that made my heart jump.
There to the left in the make-up aisle
were bottles of every color.
I thought I'd stop to look for a while,
normally, I wouldn't bother.
Arranged in a row, upon the shelf
winking and twinkling at me,
I looked and thought: 'Not for myself -
a gift to my girls, they'd be.'
There was one that was ever so lovely,
sparkly, glowing and green;
I said to myself rather dumbly,
'You're the prettiest I've ever seen.'
I thought, 'It's really not my style,'
'too loud - but oh, I love it.'
The more I looked, the more I smiled,
and my heart began to covet.
I stood there stunned by what I saw -
have it, I knew I must.
Disguised, but I knew just what it was -
Leprechaun Elven Fairy Dust.
I may not have to tell you,
you probably have guessed,
I got that night, all I could,
and went back for the rest.
Now, I still I adore my classics,
pale pink, coral and rose;
I may soon return to basics,
but tonight, I'll have twinkly toes.
