Color Butterflies


The 1st to come to the garden bed
Was a lovely butterfly of brilliant RED

Then in comes another and that make two
Fly right in, my friend of BLUE

The garden is fine, the best I’ve seen
Said the butterfly of springtime GREEN

The garden needs a sunshiny fellow,
So fly right in if your wings are YELLOW

This is all perfect I really do think
If only you’d join, butterfly of PINK

Little friend of PURPLE, take a place too,
This garden is a perfect spot for a color like you.

ORANGE, orange, you’ve waited so long
Fly right in here you belong.

Butterflies, butterflies, you’re such a sight
Flying together in summer delight!
