He broke the shell and set up on his trip
Wishing he‘d someday reach a flower bed.
Like a butterfly seeking juice to sip,
On knowledge, he keenly wished to be fed.
While many giggled to their hearts’ content
Delightfully basking in ignorance,
He didn’t laze, neither did he relent
For mere survival wasn't his preference.
Used to flowers by color, scent and shape,
He firmly went in search of a host yard.
Flitting over such a vivid landscape
Though predators frequently made it hard.
Flowers blossom under everyone’s nose
But few are thrilled by the sight of a rose.
