Transmogrified

It’s odd, but a peach tree first starts with a prune. To end up on Mars, you will leave from the moon. A lasting commitment oft starts with a swoon, And most of your children began with a spoon. You’ve got to inhale first to make a balloon; You’ve got to take note before singing a tune. It’s hard to get tipsy without a saloon. Before there are butterflies, there’s a cocoon. You don’t get a pirate without a doubloon. You start out one way, get transmogrified soon, But the one who starts crazy still ends up a loon.
