Acorn Pixie and the Lazy Cat
Acorn Pixie was well hidden at first
But then she jumped when something burst.
She shrieked a bit and jumped once too.
Something pixies never ought to do.
Hey! Was that a faerie? A fairy hunter did ask.
He was formidable, with a gun, holding a flask.
I am sure it is not, said lazy cat in the middle of her bask.
Not wanting to chase anything; it is a task.
Hey, lazy cat, said the rude hunter’s rudder-even son.
Why don’t you get up and chase it? You are no fun!
Lazy cat stretched out longer, enjoying the sun.
Not about to help anyone holding a gun.
Acorn Pixie recognized the wisdom of this yellow cat.
She enjoyed every second of her day and her acorn hat.
There was not a second time that she jumped up in alarm.
For protected by cat, she felt like she was in no real harm.
