"Papallona tigre 01(mascle) - Mariposa tigre (macho) -The Plain Tiger (male) - Danaus chrysippus " by ferran pestaña, on Flickr
I stooped to spy
A butterfly,
And stuck a thistle
In my thumb.
Beheld mine eye,
The insect guy,
Then gave a whistle,
Thumb felt numb.
In stumbling, I
Impaled my thigh,
Upon the thistle,
Then, my bum.
Expansive sigh,
And then did die,
From toxic thistle,
I succumb.
