Summer Fairies

Oh fairy dust

And tiny gossamer

Temptations of lust

With promises of dreams

Dancing around his

Bed like an ear worm

From Hell.

My brother Andy told me that the fairies had come back to his house for the summer and were driving him crazy. As a rule fairies don’t like the heat so they cluster in coastal areas like San Francisco. They also like to live around Vampires, for obvious reasons – Vampires are cool, and they can see fairies, and they know what kind of movies and snacks fairies like.

“I’m thinking about moving out of here anyway,” he told me. “The streets stink and nothing is the same anymore. The magic is leaving, and I’m not talking about witches.”

“Even in your neighborhood?” I asked.

“Not here. Not yet.”

“Where would you go?”

“That’s the problem. I’ve lived here so long that I don’t know where I’d end up.”

“What about the fairies?”

“They’ll find someone else to bother.”

Stay cool everyone. It is going to be a long hot weekend.
