Little Butterfly

Little butterfly- Your wings beat the air senselessly, Stirring up dust motes in the wind As your fragile little limbs Dangle gracefully. Little butterfly- You are seen as weak and helpless, A mere thread on the tapestry of life, Seeming, to all the world, to be perfectly harmless. Little butterfly- You may fool the others, But you can't fool me. I know that you've been hoarding things In miniature: Blowtorches, knives, arsenic, and the like. Little butterfly- I know your secret. And you know that I know. We will settle this one day, my friend... But not today. While annoying, tiny stab wounds are nothing to laugh about. Little butterfly- Beware. Fear me. For soon, I will have armed myself: Pins, tweezers, styrofoam, chloroform, and a net. I will have victory.
