Cutesy Petootsie Christmas Elf had skinny legs
But enormous boots, that made her legs look like pegs
She had a pretty smile, great attitude and gorgeous laugh
She was our favorite Christmas Elf ever, said my cousin Raff.
Cutesy Petootsie Halloween girl with a baby crow
lived down in the bowels of Texas, near Mexico
They had a good life, baby crow and She
Lived in an Airstream with two couches and a TV
A generous grandmother had left her an endowment
She was asked how she got her money where ever she went
It was such a rude question, she did not answer it at all.
Stared them down until they felt silly and small.
Cutesy petootsie teacher with her hair so fine
The boys showed up every day in a line
The girls liked her too, she was a favorite all over school
One of the kindest teachers, and she was no fool
Her outfits were perfect, her hair the right kind of messy.
We called her Miss B, the principal called her Miss Bessy
She never missed a day, and we came every day too
The finest teacher I ever had since year preschool two

Free Verse
A lei of beautiful fragrant rose
That blooms in the garden of love
A citrine California poppy
That attracts everyone.
Zoe Lei, you're so cutesy
Your manner is sociable, folksy
Intelligent girl, pride of the family
God’s glory as you perform your duty.
Keep up the good work baby
We pray for you everyday
Asking God's guidance and felicity
That you may continue to feel His mercy.
Though we may be away in distance
But our heart is deeply entwined
Someday, we'll be again inweave
And together enjoy a family's happiness.
I am in a petootsie mootsie cutsey mood today.
No one can take this from me in any kind of way.
So watch out, because no matter how mad you are
I am a princess of fun and happiness today, a shining star.
No matter how many spider web wrinkles are on your face,
You cannot put me in any kind of terrible awful place.
No matter how ugly your behavior is, I do not care.
You can toss your angry navy blue cloud up in my air.
You can do what you can, but I cannot feel you today.
You cannot take my petootsie mootsie cutsey attitude away.
I am twirling, and girl-ing, happy, slappy, so do not waste your snappy.
I am glowing today, writing poetry, painting canvases, extremely happy.
Whatever you do, I know is not directed toward me.
You can be as nasty and hateful as you want to be,
I am a happiness queen, my heart is light, I am loving life,
I do not care; I do not even notice your stress or strife.
I am all about my joy today, feeding it in the best of ways.
I will remember this day here on out, ‘til the end of my days.
Do not even try to get me down, for wasting your time you will be.
I am the petootsie mootsie cutesy me today, my own happy little me.
My nephew when he was two years old
Said sweetly "Grannies are for loving"
So I asked fishing for a compliment...
"What are aunts for?
He looked perplexed and shouted "Ants are for biting!!"
Another day he said his granny's lap was comfortable
So I had to ask...
Was I comfortable too?
He eagerly stated
"You are comfortable like a lounge chair!!"
My son saw a lady sweeping one day when he was one year old
and got excited and shouted "Mama look! she's brooming!!"
