Dandelion, Fuzzy-top, must I stop my play?
Do you s'pose my mother thinks I'm too long away?
I had planned a lot of things I must do to-day.
I was chasing butterflies when you made me stop.
People say you are so wise, Fairy Fuzzy-top!
Dandelion, Fuzzy-top, won't you tell me true?
Must I hurry home again, 'fore my play is through?
Seems as if I had about a million things to do!
Sunny days are all so short,—and that is why, you see,
I've really got to know at once if mother's wanting me.
