Caterpillar Soup

Caterpillar Soup

by Elizabeth Challinor

One of the greatest gifts Nature has ever given us

Caterpillar soup

The dark night of the caterpillar

The soup of the soul

But let’s talk about dogs instead

They do say they're our best friends

Imagine all the people

Taking out their dog for a walk

All the people

Only their dogs are their barking minds

They take them out on a leash

Then release them

And let them race ahead

While they lag behind

Imagine every person taking a daily stroll behind their racing mind

All the dogs would turn into butterflies
