The Little Fellow
Creepy, crawly, furry little train fellow,
Looping up and looping down,
Giggling on your wiggling way.
Chew, chew, and do chew some more!
Crawling, munching, crawling, munching; eat all day to grow study and strong.
Furry tassels of hair tousled along your back of golden brown.
O but one day you were nowhere, nowhere to be found...
Did your furry coat become too tight?
I've looked and looked, and oh I've looked some more
Until I spotted you wrapped in a silk blanket, asleep for night and day.
Oh let me wait and see! Please let me stay to see.
Have you ever dreamed to fly? I've wished for wings,
But I don't know just how a kid gets wings like you to grow.
You're awake! I can see you stirring.
Ah! how you carefully waggled, gracefully extending my dream.
You have now become a butterfly!
But whenever you do whiffle waffle up high, fluttering in the sky,
Don't forget you were once a wiggly, wriggly, fellow
Right here beside me.
