buttering up the sun

It was a gorgeous day for shenanigans, so the butterfly flew up high
She wanted to butter up the sun, and she knew how to really fly.
Giving the sun compliments, was one of her favorite things to do.
It kept the sun on her lilies and roses and made her feel good too.

Hi Caren, I like your poem with the irony of a butterfly thinking big powerful thoughts and with a kind heart. And then, it is buttering up the butteriest sunshine which is very cheery. J :)
