The Comma Butterfly
~The Comma Butterfly~
I am a comma-not a full stop
I’m tawny brown and black and love on stinging nettles to hop
I love the elm and hop plant for flitting on too
I do all the other things butterflies do
I am not a great beauty like some of the rest
My fritillary wings do work just like the best
I don’t gain the oohs and arhs as I give butterfly kisses on my way
Some here call me a moth-well what can you say.
I flit and I kiss from elm to nettle
I always do my best and show them my mettle
A British butterfly I have beauty in my own way
Look under my wings and I bet you will say
Oh look there’s a comma marked under its wing
I suppose it a butterfly really poor thing
I flash them my markings before flitting on my way
I have so many more kisses to give out today.
