I Am Rather Pygmyish

I am rather pygmyish
Attitudinally challenged
Not an owl or a nuthatch
Which are supposed to be pygmies
 
I have no idea why I am down here
Closer to the five and six year olds
Maybe it is so they will not be afraid of me
And it has been working
 
Every night I used to pray let me grow
I forgot to add which direction
A little detail I left out
Which has kept me short and now I’m stout

Rhona Mcferran September 20, 2018 at 10:24 PM Love that line: "Every night I used to pray let me grow/ I forgot to add which direction" hahaha!! ;D Funny one! Caren Krutsinger September 21, 2018 at 12:25 AM I meant it too.
