Now I know that name....My Cat Jeoffrey...I have that in a little book... <BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/>The Caterpillar <BR/>by Robert Graves<BR/><BR/>Under this loop of honeysuckle,<BR/>A creeping, coloured caterpillar,<BR/>I gnaw the fresh green hawthorn spray,<BR/>I nibble it leaf by leaf away.<BR/><BR/>Down beneath grow dandelions,<BR/>Daisies, old-man's-looking-glasses;<BR/>Rooks flap croaking across the lane.<BR/>I eat and swallow and eat again.<BR/><BR/>Here come raindrops helter-skelter;<BR/>I munch and nibble unregarding:<BR/>Hawthorn leaves are juicy and firm.<BR/>I'll mind my business: I'm a good worm.<BR/><BR/>When I'm old, tired, melancholy,<BR/>I'll build a leaf-green mausoleum<BR/>Close by, here on this lovely spray,<BR/>And die and dream the ages away.<BR/><BR/>Some say worms win resurrection,<BR/>With white wings beating flitter-flutter,<BR/>But wings or a sound sleep, why should I care?<BR/>Either way I'll miss my share.<BR/><BR/>Under this loop of honeysuckle,<BR/>A hungry, hairy caterpillar,<BR/>I crawl on my high and swinging seat,<BR/>And eat, eat, eat—as one ought to eat.<BR/>*Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038018719406067477noreply@blogger.com
