Itsy Bitsy the Tiny Pixy

Itsy Bitsy the tiny pixy always wore a frown for the other pixys treated him like a clown The other pixy boys did not want Itsy Bitsy around Itsy Bitsy flew too slow with small wings that were round Go swim in a dew drop Go milk a lady bug They mocking laughed at him and flew off so fast their wings blew his cap off his head The girl pixys were no better for they thought him cute They would dress him as a baby and make him play the flute Always trying to feed him raw nectar which made him poop He would shy away from them, lonely without a friend Itsy Bitsy would sigh almost enough to cry Itsy Bitsy could hear pixys in the mulberry tree they were flying in a dance as the robins sing Itsy Bitsy tried so hard to fly to them so high but the breeze and height too much for his little wings to fly So Itsy Bitsy tucker out laid on a dandelion flower wanting to be a giant so all pixys he would tower Falling asleep on the dandelion yellow poor little fellow. Woken by a buzzing bee Itsy Bitsy waved his cap swatting at the sound and when he heard a tiny voice he begin to giggle profound. For there was a tiny bee no bigger than the likes of he. Stop! Stop! the bee squeaked or I will use my sting, as he showed the tiny dart Itsy Bitsy laughter ring How dare you laugh at me my mother is the queen With a stinger so small would it break my skin at all? Insulted the tiny bee flew off, Itsy Bitsy wonder was I too rough The pixys return to their nest to sleep through the heat of the day for it was the full of the moonlight pixys love to play They all settle down with a yawn folding their wings their nap interrupted by an alarm of Cling! Cling! Cling! To arms ! To arms! the bees swarm with stingers on display Pixys leaped to battle with bows and cactus needles and stickers for spears, shields of thorns for enemies to fear Suddenly as it all was about to begin the battle quickly was at an end Voices of humans. The bees swarm to their hive buzzing they would return Pixys hide in fear for children suddenly appeared I did see pixys big brother flying by the tree Ah sis are you sure it wasn't bees? Look around nothing flying here to see I did see pixys, they looked like tiny people colorful clothes and they playfully singing Your imagination will make us late lets get home mom made cake The older brother took his little sisters hand and together they left the realm of pixy land. Pixys pleased humans were gone but why did bees want war as Itsy Bitsy cleared his throat he explained all of before Under the truce of a white flower petal delegations did meet deciding at the wild flower meadow to negotiate and greet As all gather both sides Itsy Bitsy came forth and apologize I should not have swat my cap or at his stinger laugh seeing a bee as small as me was a surprise indeed The bees parted and bowed as their queen approached proud On her back was the tiny bee, the pixys all nodded respectfully The little bee that you see is our own tiny bee Billy as for what Itsy Bitsy said a misunderstanding was had Billy bee spoke, How bad can Itsy Bitsy be for he is just like me And at that the bees and the pixys made peace traded honey for pixy sweets A treaty was signed and read all feasted and were fed They all danced and buzzed around and Itsy Bitsy and Billy grew with new respect found. The pixy boys at night took off in sudden flight Than as quickly flew back, they forgot Itsy Bitsy no more of that.
