Butterbur Butterfly

by James von Dielingen

Butterbur Butterfly lived on the road
Never sticking around to pay money he owed
He was the toughest ole bug that you ever did see
Even though he measured just two inches or three
He spat and chewed chaw and drank much too much nectar
And hid from the law like an invisible specter
He'd beat you up good with his big, buff wing muscles
He wouldn't avoid any ring-dang-do tussles
I saw him throw a ladybug straight through a window
With a swagger not unlike Mr. Delroy Lindo
Butterbur lived with a broken proboscis
Which he got after fighting a three ton colossus
He tried to dive bomb the giant right in his eye
But missed by an inch and this is no lie
He hit that giant square in his forehead
And the hulking Goliath just fell straight down dead
Nobody messed with ole Butterbur
That he was the toughest,  you can be sure
So, if you want to get beat up or die
Tug on the antennae of Butterbur Butterfly
