Moon Fairy

There once was a fairy.
 Who was anything but ordinary.
  She didn't like trees, grass, or dirt.
   She liked to lurk around at night.
    Amazed by the stars,
        she  sat down on an iron rod,
        and gazed at the sky.
       Then one day.
Something magical happened.
  Her wings grew large.
   Almost as big as Aunt Marge*
  She said to herself "Oh My."
  As the wings lifted her up to the Moon.
  She soared and she soared.
  Until her wings could do no more.
   Then she landed. Right on top of the Moon.
    Where she could see something more spectular.
     A Lunar Eclipse beginning.

And that is why she isn't ordinary.
She prefers the sights and sounds of Outer Space.
 Too her, they look like dresses made of Lace.
  Now she sits,  and grabs a star.
   As  she holds the star,
     it glows. 
Slowly, she begins to sleep.
Without having to count Sheep
She is finally home, a home that is
indeed ordinary for her.

*Aunt Marge is a character in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. She is very fat, and also Harry's Aunt.  He blows her up like a balloon when she talks about Mrs. and Mr. Potter in a very nasty way. You can learn more about  her in Chapter 2, Aunt Marge's Big Mistake.
