Can anybody help me? As a child, my favorite poem was about fairies... It started I keep three wishes ready,lest I should chance to meet, anyday a fairy,walking down the street...I'd hate to have to stammer,or have to think things out....thats where my memory ends...Anyone out there remember this one? I would like to have it framed to put up with my daughter's fairy collection & I am oh so stuck with the ending...Thanks

According to google:

I keep Three Wishes Ready

I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
coming down the street.

I'd hate to have to stammer,
Or have to think them out,
For it's very hard to think things up
When a fairy is about.

And I'd hate to lose my wishes,
For fairies fly away,
And perhaps I'd never have a chance
on any onter day.

So I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
coming down the street.
