There was a strange wee fellow came visiting us today
He said I've come to visit you from Oh! so far away
He very surely seemed to be, a
bundle of activity
And in the very shortest time, he blew our minds away
He said, "I know, you're
Peter's folks
Who have a happy girl named Haley"
He seemed to know this little fact
He tossed it off quite gaily
We thought we should be neighborly
Ask him to take a seat
Surely he must be tired
In all his many wandering feet
He joked he did not really care
He could just settle anywhere
As true as any word he said
He climbed into my favorite bed
Now at this time we must have
dozed
We never saw our friend again
For while our tired eyes were
closed
He must have set out in the rain
Where he went we could not say
We wish him luck along the way
So if he comes to visit you
Do not press him -- under your shoe
