The Hungry Caterpillar

By Tryphena Louise Williams (c) 2011

Something small, something green

The fat caterpillar, is an eating machine

I watched it wiggle, stretch and grow
Across the green leaves, it did go

Eating here, and eating there
The caterpillar munched, most everywhere

The caterpillar, it had no fear
Even when birds, did appear

Leaving holes, along the way
The caterpillar ate, throughout the day

Crunching, munching, the leaves soon gone
The caterpillar's hungry, and so moves on

Then one day before, too long
I looked for the caterpillar, but it had gone

The End
