When I think back at all
The situations that come
To mind, bad butterflies
Take flight in my stomach.

Rabbie Burns never left
Scotland, almost went to
The Caribbean once, with
The famous highland Mary.

He said that poetry is like
Shepherding sheep and one
has to attend to his flock in
A sustainable environment.

There is a statue of the bard
In Dunedin, but he never went
There and this is why the title
Of the poem is brass papillons.
