Itsy Bitsy Pitsy Ritzy Chitzy Planet

Welcome to Itsy Bitsy Pitsy Ritzy Chitzy planet.
Where the west is run by faeries and elves.
The east is run by those-who-shall-not-be-named.
That’s where crocodiles and sharks live, so stay out of that place!

I slather myself most of the time pretty much to middle earth.
The only danger here is the Voracious Victorious Volcano.
Because it dispenses hot pink lava at noon, daily.
No problem to me. That is when I swim with dolphins.

The dolphin swimming is done for free.
No one spots you, but the whales keep you safe.
They are there too. Blue Dad and Red Mom.
They are not bossy, but make sure everyone stays alive.

Welcome to Itsy Bitsy Pitsy Ritzy Chitzy planet,
There are too many new creatures to speak of.
They are being birthed daily, so here are some guide books.
Come back in an hour, and get new ones. That’s how fast we update.

We are not sure why this planet has constant new species.
The faeries and the giants might have something to do with it.
Here is a Wiccan; she could probably enlighten us too.
Except, I am a bit fearful. She transmogrified me into an elf once.

I nod to her, but she does not see me. She is a bit “off”.
Which is saying a lot because we are all “off” – it is how we got here.
Others do not come to visit, even our amusement park.
Flying pigs are in charge of the funnel cakes. They are marvelous.

Welcome to Itsy Bitsy Pitsy Ritzy Chitzy planet,
A place where misfits are welcome.
Watch out! Someone just got thrown from an airplane.
We do not die here; we are immortal. Another perk.

Swetha Vangaveti February 21, 2022 at 7:19 PM Wow!! Your imagination needs no special wings to fly. You take your pen wherever you want!! Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2022 at 2:17 AM I have to admit I take my pen everywhere, and she is forever doing Trixie's bidding.

Bill Baker February 21, 2022 at 5:04 PM I'd like to spend more time in your mind, Caren. It is a marvelously creative and adventurous place indeed. You should write children's books. (If you don't already). This has been time well spent today. I haven't had much time lately to write or read and comment. I've missed your poetry. I'll be back soon, Bill Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2022 at 2:18 AM I have written six children's books; poetry is something that is new to me. I am not sure sometimes if this is poetry or just short stories in rhyme form.
