David Suchet [who played Poirot] : "The Cowslip" a poem

There was once a little cowslip

And a pretty flower, too

But yet she cried and fretted

All through a robe of blue

Now a merry little fairy

Who loved a trick to play

Just changed into a nightshade

That flower without delay

The silly little nightshade

Thought her life a dream of bliss

Yet she wondered why the butterfly

Came not to give his kiss

She wrote that in April 1901 Agatha Miller aged 10

Cowslip is the county flower of Northamptonshire ; Surrey ; & Worcestershire https://t.co/tksSrh38A7 pic.twitter.com/0IRsT4qNSe

Cicely Mary Barker did write a poem about the primrose & the primrose fairy 🧚‍♀️🌼https://t.co/hD8xj5z4Pa

The Primrose opens wide in spring;
Her scent is sweet & good:
It smells of every happy thing
In sunny lane & wood.
I have not half the skill to sing
& praise her as I should pic.twitter.com/FhHQzKJSyk

Barker, Cicely M. Flower Fairies of the Spring: Poems and Pictures. , 2018. Print.

Barker also wrote a poem about the cowslip fairy 🧚‍♀️🐮💐

The land is full of happy birds
& flocks of sheep & grazing herds.

I hear the songs of larks that fly
Above me in the breezy sky.

I hear the little lambkins bleat;
My honey-scent is rich & sweet.
