BUTTERFLIES ONLY LIVE FOR ONE DAY

 

Butterflies only live for one day

My wife told me with surprise

I said it was a myth, but she said

“No, it’s definitely a butterfly”

THE PAPILLION AFFAIR

 

My friends happened to mention that

They didn’t particularly like butterflies

And my parents lost it completely,

Not caring for wherefores or whys

My friends became persona non grata

Treated as if they were evil Visigoths

It wasn’t as if they harmed butterflies

They just thought them arrogant Moths
