The Speckled Butterfly

Mourn with the speckled butterfly
Who was once a flawless caterpillar,
Now drinking on flower cups as the sun is high;
She was once nibbling her roof during a storm signal.

While the other insects adored her beauty,
They know not of her imperfection.
They sang her praises gently;
But her bee-dad buzzed about her spots all afternoon.

The bee, who was her adoptive father,
Kept nagging at her scornfully,
Anything she did wouldn't matter;
Only when she could produce honey.
