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…

It never got here.They were a couple of absolute idiots and it was among the best shows Britain produced.
February 27, 2013In 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’.
