THE FAIRY SADDLE LEGEND

 

LONG, LONG AGO IN DAYS OF YORE,

 

IT MIGHT`VE BEEN SOONER, IF NOT BEFORE,

 

ALONG A MOUNTAIN TRACK THERE CAME

 

A GALLANT CORGI OF QUITE SOME FAME.

 

AND THERE BESIDE THE TRACK HE SPIED

 

A MAIDEN FAIR, WHO TO HIM CRIED,

 

OH KINDLY CORGI, HEAR MY PLEA;

 

I`VE FALLEN FROM MY HORSE YOU SEE.

 

AND SO BEFORE YOU FURTHER ROAM

 

WOULD YOU, PLEASE SIR, TAKE ME HOME?

 

SO SAID THE CORGI, "I DO CONFESS;

 

HOW COULD I  LEAVE YOU IN DISTRESS?

 

SO CLIMB UPON MY BACK FAIR MAID

 

I`LL TAKE YOU HOME, AS YOU HAVE BADE".

 

AND SO THE CORGI STARTED FORTH;

 

"MY HOME`S A CASTLE TO THE NORTH".

 

THEY JOURNEYED THERE, AND AT HER DOOR

 

SHE CRIED, "I SHOULD HAVE SAID BEFORE,

 

I`M A FAIRY PRINCESS SIR, YOU SEE,

 

AND FOR YOUR KINDNESS TO ME

 

I`LL LEAVE UPON YOUR NECK AND BACK

 

ALL TRACES OF THE FAIRY TACK".

 

AND TILL THIS DAY YOU STILL CAN FIND

 

THE FAIRY`S SADDLE TO REMIND

 

HOW THE CORGI HELPED THE PRINCESS FAIR,

 

AND JUST AS WELL FOR YOU WILL CARE.
