The Crow and the Butterfly

There's a crow and a butterfly
That do a little dance,
When I throw my shutters wide
They flit around and prance.

My bird feeder attracts the crow
My bush the butterfly,
But privacy it seems bestows
Some act they try to hide.

How quickly both jump up and glide
To scurry from the scene,
You'd think that with my shutters wide
I'd see something obscene!

There's a crow and a butterfly
That do this little dance,
And if I were not wiser, why
I'd swear it was romance!
