Poem by
Florence Hoatson

Fairy Frilly for half an hour
Went to sleep in a poppy flower-

Went to sleep in her little green frock,
And the time of the ball was ten o'clock.

Quarter to ten and five to ten
Ticked from the dandelion clock again,

But Fairy Frilly was deaf to all,
And ten was the time of the fairy ball!

Little west wind came by that way,
And he pulled off the petal where Frilly lay,

Pulled it off with the fairy on it,
And blew with a great big breath upon it.

Off sailed the petal,
Frilly and all-

And thats how she managed
to get to the ball.

WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?
WELL, WHEN THE POEM MENTIONS…

Blew with a great big BREATH upon it…

Just like us,
mushrooms
take in oxygen
for their
digestion
and
metabolism
and
"exhale"
carbon dioxide
as a
waste
product.
