once upon a time
there lived a caterpillar
underneath a leaf
having a quick CHOMP, CHEW
knowing he's a thief

his taste buds sprang anew

i lifted the leaf
to my disbelief he spoke!
this is a joke, i thought

"don't hurt me please!
i won't do damage
except to your cabbage"

so i picked the leaf carefully

AND THREW HIM INTO NEXT DOOR'S GARDEN!
