The imps are among the smallest
inhabitants of the faerie world.
They love to engage in challenges,
and on the slightest whim will
painstakingly climb a thorny
dog rose bush just for the thrill
of surmounting the sharp barbs.
They are mischief-makers
and are also considered lazy
and unproductive, and can often
be observed lolling about doing nothing.
