Butterfly and Alligator

Alligator always thought he could fly He wanted to have wings Like a butterfly Butterfly wanted to be strong Have big teeth, she had wishes underneath Alligator wanted to swim in the air Touch the clouds Get out of his lair Butterfly wished she could be an alligator Not to fear She had all clear One day, they both met at the island place what heartbreaking case! Let’s change our bodies- they said. Alligator tried to fly around But he fell down Butterfly tried to scare a giraffe But that made animals Have a good laugh After failing tries they decided to live together no matter the weather Butterfly on alligator’s back Didn’t feel a snack But ready to attack Alligator wearing wings, felt like kings. What a wonderful thing.
