The Lepidopterist

The aging lepidopterist Eternally the optimist A lifetime spent in searching for The rarest creature, nothing more But one day soon without a doubt He’s sure that he will seek her out He’ll net this most elusive bug And finding her, they’ll kiss and hug Then looking deep within her eyes His stomach fills with butterflies
