She moved from the city to Cornwall <br />To live out her days in an old Cornish house <br />But she discovered soon after she moved in <br />That things in the garden kept being moved about <br />Vegetables uprooted, while toadstools sprouted overnight <br />Apples eaten while still on the branch <br />Washing left out, was made dirty again <br />And flower heads were found, made into costumes <br />She blamed the local cats, foxes and birds <br />The children and the dog up the road <br />But what she didn't know, was in fact <br />Most nights the piskies were having a ball.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-could-only-happen-in-cornwall/
