Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day

I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things

The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

Music held her in a spell

A sound that brought to life

Forgotten times, of yesterday

Her life, now filled with strife

Each note became her solace

As she played to her despair

For no one knew what she hid

Behind her vacant stare

Bessie stuck her head out

She was looking for the farmer

The one who showed up daily

He was really quite the charmer

This shiny pail, he carried

With a smile upon his face

Foot stool waiting patiently

Upon which he took his place

But this day was very different

Poor Bessie, she was bilked!

The farmer chose another cow

Now she cries over her spilt milk
