{the butterfly's lesson}©

The rosebuds nestled next to their mother,
a butterfly came by and it was all a flutter.
He said to the rose how sweet you be,
his wings flapped away hovering over thee.
I think i shall take you to my bosom:
where i can soak up every last blossom.
I'm not greedy for savoring every drop,
then along came a bee and the butterfly went kerplop!
The moral of the story is:
tread lightly on someone else's territory:
cause you never know if lurking about is the enemy!
