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

Thank you. I am in a rather pygmish mood right now as a matter of fact.
