A Complaint by Rose Fyleman: poem

Video: https://youtu.be/_xAzNyVbXcI

You’ve stolen all our mushrooms!

When friends come in to tea

In Fairyland it is the rule

To offer them a satin stool;

The grass is often very wet

And furniture is hard to get,

As you must all agree.

You've stolen all our mushrooms

And left not one behind.

If people came by night and day

And took your prettiest chairs away

And made them all into a stew

Without so much as thanking you,

Now would you call it kind ?

You've stolen all our mushrooms,

And, if you don't take care,

We'll go about the fields at night

And paint the toadstools brown and white,

And you'll be punished for your greed

By being very ill indeed

So you had best beware.
