to find that the world was just not the same.
He wore all his 16 shoes
to go out and look
But something just didn't feel right
so he kicked off the shoes
Then he went to cook his breakfast
Fry some eggs and toast some bread
But when he tried to eat it
It tasted all funny
Frustrated and depressed
He walked out of his hole
and went for a long walk
only barefoot
He came across a puddle
and was thankful for that
He dove into the little pond
quite unable to swim
Panting and cursing
He crawled out of the water
And finally he did what
he should've done earlier
Almost as an afterthought
he glanced at the pool
to see a reflection
that was just not his own
His mouth was tinier
of that he was sure
His hair looked funnier
not to be sorted with his back-pocket comb
But most prominent were the wings
Beautiful and shiny and green
Almost the entire length of his body
His transformation had taken him by surprise
And a pleasant one at that
He stretched his wings experimentally
and flew a little way.
So the lesson we learn
from this kind caterpillar
is that even the most suckiest days
can become truly awesome days!
