Being a fairy
is no easy job, I tell you. I know; I
have been one for years, and hated every moment.
Oh, sure. Some fairies paint flowers, some water lovely
green plants. Their primary job is to care for the planet, keeping it healthy and green. Those fairies’ skin shimmer with a fluorescent
glow, their clothing is cross-stitched
with spider webs, and their boots
are soft butterfly cocoons.
My job? My job? I am
in charge of slugs and carnivorous bugs.
In fact, I am President
of Chapter 207 Union of Scavenger Bugs. One assassin bug attacked me, put me in
fairy hospital for a
week. Best week of my miserable life, the only best week.
If there were even one thing about my job that I loved, that would be
wonderful. But as it stands now, I live
in fairy mud hell.

These are fun and I always love playing with them. Post your take in their comment section or at your own site!

I guess even fairies have crappy jobs to do
ReplyDeleteDisney does not show that, does he?
DeleteHe could be in charge of fungus. That might be worse.
ReplyDeleteHave to know how and why the fairy ended up there.
DeleteHard to imagine a fairy living in Fairy Hell but I guess there is @##& in everyone's life.
ReplyDeleteEven in a fairy's life.
DeleteWell done - I do like the picture too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
This makes me want to dive into the green land.
DeleteWhat fun. And a very different take on the direction that these words took most of us this week.
ReplyDeleteAh, well. That's what I like to do.
DeleteEven fairy's have rights to be respected under the Federations Articles guaranteeing civil rights. Bad, bad, bad assassin bug.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Gail "At the Farm", those bugs are nasty, and they look even worse.
DeleteYou'd think the bad fairy jobs would pay the best...
ReplyDeleteFairy police are investigating even as I write.
ReplyDeletePoor fairy. Rotten job but somefairy has to do it.
ReplyDeleteSuch is life.
DeleteI'd never thought of fairies being in charge of the nasty, slimy, bitey things. That seems like a job for imps and goblins.
ReplyDeleteNice story, a little sad and I hope that maybe this particular fairy gets a promotion soon.
I doubt it. This one has a really bad attitude.
DeleteBugs are always a high form of nuisance. I have sugar ants in my car that won't go away, not even w/poison. I need a bug fairy.
ReplyDeleteOne or more bug fairies as I see it.
DeleteThat's a hazardous job. Well crafted.
ReplyDeleteThose assassin bugs came from you.
DeleteThis is great, Susan! Love it! So cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love it when words all come together.
