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.
