Little Wally Nursey Rhyme

Little Wally, the caterpillar, was very sad.
He didn't want to hang out with his dad.
Papa asked, "Why are you so down, son?"
I'm used to you having tons of fun, son.
"I want to be like you; dad; I'm really slow."
" You'll get your wings, and you'll go go!

"Really? You were once like me too?"
"Yes, son, long ago, I was like you too.
"Well, when did the change happen, dad?"
" I spent time in a cave, and I was glad,
The coolest thing was I came out with wings".
"Really? That's how you got those flying things?'

"Yes, and it's going to happen to you too, son."
So cheer up, find your pal Al have some fun.
