A SAUCY FELLOW.

 A GROUP of little pansy-folk

Came out one summer day,

Nodding their pretty heads about

In such a charming way.

Bonnets¹ of gold and lavender

And purple, too, they wore,

And such a jolly company

Was never seen before.

A very saucy² bumblebee

Came loudly buzzing by,

And snubbed the pansy-folk, and whisked

Their bonnets all awry³.

They scolded, frowned, and shook with fright;

They bade him come no more.

O such a sorry company

Was never seen before!
