Lazy Caterpillar.

Little green caterpillar what do you do all day?
Sitting on that leaf so green with not so much to say.
Never changing your place of rest, same tree ,same leaf
some would jest.
That lazy little caterpillar does what he does best.

For days and days you've never moved,
same tree, same leaf, what has it proved
that you're not a lazy caterpillar
is what some people might say
because like me they came.

They saw and watched 
my lazy caterpillar fly away.
Now you're a pretty butterfly
and I watch you flutter by.
