 I am nothing
yet EVERYTHING
I am the sky
Yet you and I
together are this SKY
creating each big and bitsy
cloud that floats by...

There once was an itsy-bitsy mouse
Who lived in a teeny-weeny house...

She had a teeny-weeny spouse
Who was an itsy-bitsy louse...

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Along came the rain and washed the spider out...
Silly spider, of course he got washed out -
so now that arachnid can just sit and pout!...

The itsy-bitsy spider
Came down the waterspout
Down came aa shoe
And knock the spider out
Out came the clouds
And dropped down all the rain
So, the itsy-bitsy spider
Could never climb again...

Carly Simon

Songstress, big hair, and a huge smile
Cheshire cat teeth you can see across the Nile

You’re So Vain—Just might be about Jagger
Love her—Itsy-Bitsy Spider—and all her swagger...

Itsy-bitsy and itty-bitty were going to the fair.
Teeny-weeny and Mr. Leany said “we’ll meet you there.”
Had a strong drink that none of them could handle.
We had to lead them home by horse, carriage and candle....

The itsy bitsy fighter

Went up to start his bout

Down came the pain

And knocked the fighter out

Out came the blood

And dried up on his brain

So the itsy bitsy fighter

Would never bout again

The itsy bitsy batsies 
	climbed up me finger tips. 
Sat on the tippy-tops 
	and tightened up their grips. 
Out came the eyedropper, 
	fed each little bat. 
Then down me fingers clambered they 
	as easily as that....

with bitsy paws and tiny snout,
just watch this puppy romp about
and bring such joy to children's eyes
that you will think she's giant-size

Travel light.
Bring a bite.
And a toothbrush.

Wired for sound
when off the ground.
And factor fifty.

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie
yellow polka dot bikini.
And a towel.

Will pick you up.
Have a cup.
And hit the beach....

Eanie, meanie, miney, moe,
Watch how my canabis plant does grow
Itsy, bitsy, and much, much more
Watch the cops break down my door
In front of the judge, how do you plead?
I suddenly realize he's the one that
sold me the seed!...

Liar, Liar,
Truth on Fire

Hush little electorate, 
Don't say a word
No one's gonna balk at a single turd

The Donkey fell down
and broke his Crown
and the Elephant came tumbling after

And Itsy Bitsy Liar
Climbed up the spout again....

If I were a knickknack 
living on a walnut whatnot shelf,
I would be ideally placed
Between a pink dinosaur and blue elf.

If I were a knickknack
I would be a tiny lamb with fleece.
Played with by a six-year-old girl
Until I broke into tiny bitsy pieces.

If I were a knickknack....

The ineffable love of nature,
Gives a feel of ebullience.
The petrichor that comes from the soothing rain,
Relieves all the pain!
A glimpse at the beautiful rainbow,
The rainbow which is always evanescent
Makes us euphoric.
The itsy-bitsy homes in the cities,
Gives us a limerence of phosphene....

Sunshine is fun time.
We start the car, go far.

First stop beach shop.
I scream for ice cream.

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie
yellow polka dot bikini.

Jump in for a swim.
Beach ball, we all fall.

Skin save as we sun bathe
Sun set, all get in car.

Back home, good roam.
Night night, sleep tight....

Itsy bitsy brain
Inside my walnut head
When someone so much smarter
Reads what I have said
Then takes the big
Nut-cracker
And to my head applies
Walnut shards now in my brain,
I'm running out of lies
Now I see
Thanksgiving's Day's bowl of nuts
I say silently to myself;
My God, I'm such a G.D. putz!...

Windy March

March is meeting February
Like a feisty dog fights through a fence;
Barking back the cold of winter,
And spreading seeds for a flowering spring.

March barks at cold February,
Clinging to the bitsy buds on trees,
Albeit it blows in a cough or a sneeze,
Winter will wane indeed, 

And windy March will win....

As lemonade evaporates in humid haze, 

Upbeat, the pollen sway, so sweet the starry buds,

Good times abound for goldenrod with golden locks! 

Unwitting sun ferments in glitzy-bitsy blooms,

Seductive nectar, Nature’s bubbly, brews a buzz,

Two tipsy bees in gold-dust slippers tango dance....

It is skimpy
But not indecent
It looks fabulous on a pre-teen
But do not get any ideas
Because that would be creepy

Old women look better in a one piece
And if they are wide they sometimes do better with a skirt
Bikinis are not for everyone
But when I see a yellow polka dotted one,
Look out.

My singing voice comes out
And I am no Brian Hyland...

Itchy bitsy ouch;
Bug bite Bee stings hornet nest;
Itchy scratchy pest;

~

So I fear those bees;
and mosquitoes and hornets;
With a scary mouths,
and rife stingers ticks and flies;
they do buzz, sting and bite I’m frightened;

The older wiser spider, now faster than the storm,

found his way inside and at last was dry and warm 

but he strolled to his demise when he passed me in my room, 

for the older wiser spider was slower than the broom...

Itsy Bitsy spider went up the wall of shower.
Itsy Bitsy spider, grabbed with piece of paper.
Itsy Bitsy spider was placed in toilet water.
Itsy Bitsy spider, wished he was in hamper.
Itsy Bitsy spider was now stuck in the crapper.
Itsy Bitsy spider went down in swirling water.
To take a shower, with an Itsy Bitsy spider,
Was not going to happen, upon any hour,
Without any cower, she finished her shower....
