Ode to a Butterfly
by Lorraine Nesbit
Oh! the butterfly
he flutters all day,
he roams the skies
with some delay.
He alights on trees, fences, and roses,
to whatever attracts his fancy
he will do his poses.
As I watch him
in pure delight,
I begin to wonder
if he knows his own plight.
The butterfly is gone now
replaced by snow,
but he will be back again
to put on his beautiful show.
Ode to Ice Cream
by Unknown
Oh, sweet ice cream!
You are my one true love
Thick, creamy, and luscious,
You have surely been sent from heaven above.
Ice cream, sweet ice cream
I turn to you no matter the season,
Spring, summer, fall.
And even when the weather is already freezin'.
Oh, sweet ice cream
The flavor matters not.
I will love you forever
With every taste bud I've got.
