Lipogram: Fly, Butterfly, Fly
Fly, butterfly, but slowly fly;
Being drunk with celestial glow,
If you try, and fly high: sky high,
Your wings will burn, and you will die.
Fly, butterfly, but not so high;
Fly slowly and low, so you know,
Celebs you see live not so nigh,
If you try, and fly high, you’ll die.
Fly, butterfly, yet never try
To go beyond the nature’s flow;
If you do, and try to fly high,
Down you will go, and you will die.
