Oh ugly butterfly They think less of you When you were a caterpillar There was hope The children caught you Placed you in a jar Picked you leaves And watched you grow Hatched From a cocoon Sprouted wings But "oh no" They were not colorful The children released you Just let you go "Fly away ugly butterfly" They scream and shout "We do not love you for you are not beautiful"

Ode to the Moth
Oh ugly butterfly They think less of you When you were a caterpillar There was hope The children caught you Placed you in a jar Picked you leaves And watched you grow Hatched From a cocoon Sprouted wings But "oh no" They were not colorful The children released you Just let you go "Fly away ugly butterfly" They scream and shout "We do not love you for you are not beautiful"
The children did not love him, for he was not beautiful.
