the wrinkled wing!
I've heard of him in legends and the
songs that people sing.
His wing is aerodynamic and adds
miles to his flight.
So supple and so graceful,
what a wondrous sight!
-
I've secretly admired him for oh,
these many years.
I've longed so to meet him, and
I've cried many tears.
I know he'd never notice mre
and so I sit and pine
all because I was born
with symetry of design.
-
In my dreams I fly with him
far up in the sky,
doing acrobatics, diving low
and soaring high.
I've even thought of surgery
to wrinkle up one wing
ti imitate my idol . . .
this great butterfly king!
-
If I could only be like him
instead of being plain
I know that I'd be happy and
suffer no more pain.
Then I would be noticed
and of me they would sing,
If I were just that butterfly who
has a wrinkled wing!
