Ten Christmas fairies, living in my tree --
one slid down a candy cane and scraped her knee.
Nine Christmas fairies, sitting on a bough --
one fell off a wilted branch and broke her brow.
Eight Christmas fairies were flying to the top --
I didn't see it happen, but I heard one drop.
Seven Christmas fairies swung from a popcorn string --
one fairy bumped a silver bell and made it ring.
Six Christmas fairies threw caution to the air --
one cartwheeled from the star, and then she wasn't there.
Five Christmas fairies perched on five ornaments --
one tiny sprite who slipped has never been seen since.
Four Christmas fairies grabbed onto tinsel strands --
Soon I bade a fond farewell to one with slipp'ry hands.
Three Christmas fairies hopped onto Santa's sleigh --
one didn't leave in time before he rode away.
Two Christmas fairies threw magic dust for fun --
one vanished in the glitter, and then there was just one.
One Christmas fairy is living in my tree --
I hope she stays forever to keep me company.
