“It was, it was a fairy man  Who came to town today."I'll make a cake for sixpence,  If you will pay, will pay."{{pb}}I paid him with a sixpence,  And with a penny, too;He made a cake of rainbows,  And baked it in the dew.[...]He iced it with a moonbeam,  He patterned it with play,And sprinkled it with star-dust  From off the Milky Way.”
