Dragonfly

Dragonfly, Dragonfly,
Are you friendly? Are you shy?
You turn cartwheels on my shoes,
Make me lose these muddy blues.

Wild as the starry sky,
Blonde of hair and blue of eye,
A thousand freckles, two big ears,
Stay with me a hundred years.

Dragonfly, Dragonfly,
Tell me what and tell me why.
I'm a reptile, juvenile,
Make me human with your smile.
