Weekly Scribblings #73. We're asked to include the word butterfly or moth in our scribblings this week. Submitted to Poets & Storytellers United, June 9,, 2021
The Great Poobah, He Who Names All Things
has posted an abject
apology.
"I don't know what I was thinking", he says
"when I named it a
butterfly
We all know my every intention
was to name it a
flutterby"
I think flutterby is better too :)
ReplyDeleteCould this be more delightful??? A resounding NO.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable!

ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by to read mine Bev
Much💛love
Indeed yes. Obviously!
ReplyDeleteWe forgive you, Great Poobah!
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling, Beverly. Flutterby. We have Monarch butterflies here, fluttering by on their way from Mexico to Indiana. It's the milkweed flowers here that attracts them, they lay eggs for Cocoons to turn to Caterpillar worms the into Monarchs to fly back to Mexico in the Fall. This spring was too hectic with our big freeze, the milkweeds froze and the Monarchs went by another route.

Flutter by ..it's obvious.
ReplyDeleteWorks for me!
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha! This is so yummy, Bev. I bet that the namer was under the same sort of dyslexic spell that enthralled Neil Gaiman when he name his character Coraline instead of Caroline.
