Magpie Tale 91: Musical chairs

The leprechauns left you a fortnight ago.
A year long they dwelled by your musical chairs.
You ran round and round and you never sat down.

The leprechauns left you a fortnight ago,
They went with their fiddles, their flutes and their bagpipes.
The music still plays round and round in your head.

The leprechauns left you a fortnight ago.
Don’t look at the past for it will not return.
The future is cloudy around and around.

The leprechauns left you a fortnight ago.
The leprechauns left you,
A fortnight ago.
