THE BAMBOOZLING OF MR. HOLMES

In Cottingly
In Yorkshire
They are
At the bottom of the garden
Across the ‘beck’
Camera in hand
With the hat pins
A flower for Elsie
They sit so close
And dance about
On little strings?
By the oaks in the dell
Fairies
With and without
With and without
With and without wings

The bottom of the garden
Where the children play
The floor of the nursery
Glue and scissors lay

Bamboozled by our Elsie
At the bottom of her class
Like ‘A Spell for a Fairy’
Mr. Holmes you let them pass
Oh Mr. Holmes
Oh Mr. Holmes
They may be cut outs
But we’re as real as gnomes

Little men
In green
And women too
Hop upon their dresses
Frances
Had really
Had really seen them
So had nothing to retract
Now then
As a child
Of ten years old
Can you keep a secret?
But a they
Look a so
Paper and scissors
They look so fake to me

So they wrote
Several books
One of them was called
The Coming of the Fairies
What does one
Make of it
Wouldn’t you agree
It’s all very peculiar
But it’s odd
To look in
Princess Mary’s
Princess Mary’s Gift Book
Frances said
In ‘81
Three of them are fake
But the last one is genuine
