Pug and Butterfly
 

A little pug-nosed pup woke up
To start a brand-new day
He stepped outside, stretched and yawned
And made his merry way

He walked through dew-wet, new mown grass
Soon drying from the sun
He romped and rolled a little bit
Then looked for some more fun

He came upon a flowerbed
He sniffed one with a sigh
But suddenly the bloom rose up
It was a butterfly

The butterfly then led the pug
On quite a merry chase
The pug pursued her to and fro
A smile upon his face

The butterfly stopped for a bit
With nothing else to say
She gave the pug a little kiss
And quickly flew away
