Butterfly Queen and Mr Sow

Butterfly queen flutters by to honor Mr. Sow the best she can. He is amazed as she lands on his snout, feeling every bit the man. She is dainty, petite, with filigree wings and a pretty smile. Together they light up the barnyard for a country mile. They are such friends! The cow tells the pig who shares this with a horse. They are related I think, maybe cousins. This makes sense of course. I love this relationship – they do not resemble each other in the least. One will make a gorgeous corpse, the other will make a great feast.

Oh dear! I was going along just fine until I got to the "gorgeous corpse" and the "great feast." Very imaginative.
