There’s a caterpillar in my raspberry

I bought a punnet of succulent raspberries from the store

On a hot summer’s day, nothing satisfies me more!

I sat down to enjoy my mouth watering, juicy berries

The excitement, elation,  overwhelmed me, I was merry!

Enthusiastically I sucked a ripe berry through my lips

And felt something fall onto my tongue, just the tip

So I popped out my tongue just to stare for a minute

And found staring back, was a CATERPILLAR, dang it.

So I picked up the caterpillar and placed it in front of me,

And I told it “Go on, crawl away and be free

Don’t let life pass you by

And because I didn’t eat you, you’ll become a BUTTERFLY!"

{DISCLAIMER: What really happened was ... I put a raspberry in my mouth and before I bit into it I felt something on my tongue. 

I poked my tongue out, and found a dead caterpillar. Gross. Just glad I didnt chew it.

I like the version in my head better.}
