In the Lilliputian nursery,
They put me in a makeshift playpen.
My giant frock enveloped them.
They fluffed their way about.
One sturdy worker busied himself
Til he found my secret ruffle.
He put his shoulder against it,
Forcing it up and finally out.
The others bootless steps were like kisses,
While he tugged tirelessly at my seams.
I lay helpless, tied face-down,
Bloomers toward the sky and lost
In all my enormous dreams.
They put me in a makeshift playpen.
My giant frock enveloped them.
They fluffed their way about.
One sturdy worker busied himself
Til he found my secret ruffle.
He put his shoulder against it,
Forcing it up and finally out.
The others bootless steps were like kisses,
While he tugged tirelessly at my seams.
I lay helpless, tied face-down,
Bloomers toward the sky and lost
In all my enormous dreams.
