The Caterpillar
February 25, 2021
The caterpillar’s dead
Maggots ate its head
And that is the end
Of our caterpillar friend
But wait!
Is that a butterfly?
Soaring, flying
In the sky?
It is!
It’s him!
He’s still alive!
Heading straight for… A BEEHIVE!
No wait!
Look out!
Don’t fly so low!
Stop staring people, you can go.
The butterfly is dead
Maggots ate its head
And that is the end
Of our caterpillar friend.
But wait!
Is that-
No, he died.
It was super sad, I cried.
