The Fairy Killer

I saw him once.
I saw him twice.
I saw him cat.
I saw him mice.
I saw him three.
I saw him four.
I saw him creep under the door
and move in closer even more.
I saw his hands of ice.

I saw him red.
I saw him green.
I saw him dance
for things unseen.
I saw him blue.
I saw him black.
I saw the cloak upon his back,
and silver scarf take up the slack
around the fairy queen.
