I'm sure I saw an elf
as I was walking through
the park...he was slipping
from tree to tree

Riding down a back
country road, I swear I
saw the glint of unicorn
horn, there amongst the horses

Sitting outside at dusk
I know, oh I know
I saw faeries playing
with the fireflies

Why can't there be
faeries and elves and unicorns?

Why can't there be
magic and witches and weres?

I want there to be
magic in a ravens feather

I want there to be
a unicorn in my backyard

Why can't there be
faeries flirting with the fireflies

Why can't there be?

And whose to say there isn't if we look for them. Magical poem.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

You mean they're not?
I could have swore I saw them

Why can't there be all these things. I don't know but I wish they all existed.  I need a fairy god mother to use her magic to grant me three wishes.  One would include cool brisk nights for you and me to see all the beautiful sites of every city in a Unicorn pulled buggy.
Gotta reward you with something for this gem.  It wouldn't be my company, but the unicorn pulled buggy ride.
This was a nicely written poem. Very eloquent.
