Notes About The Poem

Caterpillar and Fish

I know a caterpillar and a fish,
but I won't catch and I won't squish. 
I'm not sure why, but maybe because
one is slick and one has fuzz.

Thanks, Sara, I can see that. I have to admit my brain was mostly empty when I composed that one.

What a fun write. Now guess you don't eat... I thought you were going to say, you use the caterpillar to catch the fish. Have a fun day writing away..............

haha, now that you mention it, that's what most people would think, right, if you have a caterpillar, and a fish, just catch the fish with the caterpillar. I suppose a fish wouldn't mind a little fuzz.
