Do You Have A Butterfly Mind? Refuting an accusation, humorous poem 649 by Angela Lansbury

 


 Do you have a butterfly mind

Leaving all the bad weeds behind

Some like to finish all they do

But others hop to something new


A butterfly mind's no disgrace

Pretty butterflies have their place

They do not touch the dirty ground

But fly about and hop around


Somebody once asked me, if I

Had a mind like a butterfly

The conversation wasn't of his choosing

I'd thought I was being amusing


It all depends on the time and state

But when I must, I concentrate

When all is done, one can move on

Divert or yawn when it gets late


A butterfly on plants or plates

Can fly over fences and gates

It's pretty, amusing, flies over walls

Better than being pretty dull.
