a group of little pansy-folk
came out one summer day,
nodding their pretty heads about
in such a charming way.
bonnets of gold and lavender
and purple, too, they wore,
and such a jolly company
was never seen before.
a very saucy bumblebee
came loudly buzzing by,
and snubbed the pansy-folk, and whisked
their bonnets all awry.
they scolded, frowned, and shook with fright;
they bade him come no more.
o such a sorry company
was never seen before!
