They say I'm away with the fairies That's what they said to me Looking back in retrospect It would be a lie to disagree. My lawn is filled with garden gnomes And rabbits that are made from clay And children's books inside my home They Are there from my early days I hate to face reality a very sad place to be I would rather read my Rupert book With mad proffesser's and philosophy's So please come around And take a look You may like just what you see A world with Alice in wonderland Such a wonderful world of glee. But this planet is not a fairy tale And no place for make believe When they say your with the fairies Take no notice And just agree.

Any poem with the title "Fairyville" is worth a read! I completely agree with your narrative here! I still have many of my childhood storybooks, and have even published one of my own. Bravo, and thank you for taking me back to my youth!
