I didn't write this but I wish I had;
No-one loves a fairy when she's forty
No-one loves a fairy when she's old
She may still have a magic power but that is not enough
They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff
When once your silver star has lost its glitter
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold
Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
No-one loves a fairy when she's old
Well, I'm still 38. My wand is still straight and erect.
With all their prudishness those Victorians certainly gave us some high camp via the music halls. I love this one;
Oh, what a beauty!
I've never seen one as big as that before.
Oh! What a beauty!
It must be two foot long or even more.
It's such a lovely colour
And big and round and fat,
I've never seen a marrow, as quite as big as that!
Oh, what a beauty
I've never seen one as big as that before!
