That Old Caterpillar

That Old Caterpillar

The oldest caterpillar ever to live

Refused

To become a butterfly

Refused

To fly

The oldest caterpillar that ever lived

Crawled

Under a rock

Crawled

Till it died

The oldest caterpillar that ever was

Was

A boring coward

Was

A religious fundamentalist

The oldest caterpillar viewed the world in black and white

“Butterflies are damned to death”

That legged worm used to say

“Color is a sin”

Never was

That old caterpillar

A butterfly to be

That old caterpillar

Hoping to prolong its life

Was “born again”

That old caterpillar

Scared of death

Was afraid to live
