By Any Other Name

In Spain, it’s mariposa. In Poland, you’ll hear motyl. One says borboleta in balmy Brazil. Pulali are a plenty around exotic Nepal. “Come here pretty farfalla!” in Italy, You would call. Hawaiians sight pulelehuas While strolling in the sand. A child would chase a chocho if home is in Japan. No matter how one says or spells it, I always breathe a sigh, Every time I behold a beautiful butterfly.
