Way down in a shady spot
Where I've a plant hospital there~
In old buckets and tins
Where I can doctor them and care~
Up on a long thin hanging branch
I saw an amazing sight that day~
Natures natural respect
As two catapillers crawled upon their way~
There was I watching these two little grubs
Crawling towards each other on this limb~
Only room enough for one to go
The chance of passing it was slim~
But when they got together
Head to head right there~
They spent a good half hour
Trying to pass each other and be fair~
One end up hanging half off
So the other could get by~
And as soon as the other got on its way
To get back again how the hanging grub did try~
The one that past it waited there
Till the hanging grub got back~
And then it went slowly upon its way
To where it was headed down the track~
I thought how conciderate
Two little grubs could be~
And I wondered if  was a grub
Would it do that for me~
I thought about how people
Bump into others every day~
When so many are out shopping
It's just get out of my way~
There was not any hurry
As these two did what they were there to do~
And they were but two little grubs
And showed such concideration it is true~
If people could all be the same
Or from their book just take a page~
Planetarial concideration
Might just one day be the latest rage~
