Notes About The Poem

Bubbling Butterflies In Your Belly

Some feel the butterflies when they find their true love, 
Butterflies right down in their belly,
And these butterflies fleetingly flutter around, 
Turning their thoughts into jelly,

But my butterflies all got up and flew, 
The moment when I laid eyes on you,
They all got chased off, to a far away place, 
Replaced by each beast from the zoo,

So now I feel giraffes in the side of my neck, 
And lions deep down in my heart,
And pandas across the palms of my hand, 
Whenever we both have to part.

Some feel butterflies in their stomach of love, 
When they find their loveliest one,
But you give me feelings from every animal, 
Every animal living under the sun.
