The Butterfly

The Butterfly

 

Innocent, Flying,

Wonderful thing.

Fluttering, soaring,

Using its tiny wings.

It dipped high and low,

Great Above and Down Below.

 

Till one day, it met a man.

Was bedazzled, amazed,

And sat on his hand. 

It loved to be petted

And begged for his touch,

Gave everything it had

But was told it wasn't enough.

 

With hurst so deep,

And pain everywhere.

It flew away, wings broken,

And tried hard to disappear. 

Finally it succeeded.

It found a great big pond,

And dove right in and stayed under,

Knowing its where it belonged.

    And, one could assume that the butterfly greeted death, upon taking that plunge…

    Metamorphosis of a frog

    It starts out as spawn,then it turns into a tadpole,then it turns into a frog.
    Finally,it turns into a butterfly!

    It never got here.They were a couple of absolute idiots and it was among the best shows Britain produced.
    In another episode an exasperated police officer complained bitterly about all the wierdos and freaks he had to deal with and ended up saying ‘Now I’m getting frigged about by a couple of idiots like you’.
