A Cocoon Romance 1921

A fuzzy wuzzy caterpiller
loved a humming bird,
All on a summer's day;
Of love this haughty birdling tho'
refused to hear a word,
All on a summer's day;
Said she: "I'm very beautiful,
while ugly, sir, are you,
And really 'tis presumption, Sir,
for you to dare to woo;
The one that wins my love, Sir Worm,
must be a gay gallant;
So try your arts on other hearts,
for win this one you can't."

But fiercer grew the love
within poor fuzzy wuzzy's breast,
All on a summer's day;
It grew and swelled
until it filled and burst his fuzzy vest,
All on a summer's day.
Then forth he sprang,
a dazzling Knight,
on wings of burnished gold,
with Cupid's dart he pierced her heart,
this lover brave and bold.

Then 'round Miss Hummingbird
a web of shining silk he spun,
and on the wings of love
they sped to realms beyond the sun;
A tiny airship fleet
as wind from goss'mer silk he spun,
and with his true love sailed away
to realms beyond the sun!
