Butter Flies

Butter Flies

It was not like the creatures that flutter 

I needed to stand here and suffer 

Seemed like a small thing that over time wouldn't matter 

But I didn't appreciate the appearance of the spatter 

Keep looking but can't find what I consider to be fine 

Couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes 

It wasn't what I was expecting to find 

Was hoping it was all in my mind 

Just wanted to have something for later

This wasn't what I would call greater 

Took another look and almost felt crook 

Wasn't what I was going to use to cook

Would have to find something else for everyone to try

This was not the sort that you looked for and caught 

Just something that you bought 

But didn't expect to have insects adding up to more than nought 

Crawling around in your spread before they might end up dead

Wouldn't have mattered if it had been something unseen

Or it was all just in a dream 

Roaming around like some secret little spies

All these dirty butter flies
