Caterpillar

I used to know a caterpillar
Who would always try
To eat a lot so she would grow
Into a butterfly
She didn't like to crawl around
Inching slowly so
She yearned to be a butterfly
And hoped one day to grow
Everyone loves butterfiles
Their beatuy is reknowned
But who cares for a caterpillar
Crawling on the ground
And so one day she balled herself
Into a big cacoon
She sat inside 'til satisfied
That she could finally bloom;
But thinking back, I'm not so sure
That it was worth the sweat
'Cause once she grew, she flew into
A big butterfly net
