Cotton Dots

Have you seen those cotton dots 
fluffy spots, there’s quite a lot
have you seen those cotton dots 
up among the trees? 

Touch those fuzzy cotton dots 
pile them into bags and cots
soft white balls of silky knots
flowing in the breeze. 

Pick those cuddly cotton dots
weave them into shirts and socks 
spin to yarn, there’s quite a lot
up among the trees.
