Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

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.
