Willie Nursery Rhyme

My name is Willie. Isn't that silly? People think I'm, a worm. The truth is, really, When it's no longer chilly, I am a worm...short term. I have a mystique, A secret technique, For awhile, I'll say goodbye. But in a few weeks, I'll look rather chic, I'll be a colorful butterfly. 3/5/23 Daniel Turner
