"He smells like an ape
and he moves like a snail"
the Hummingbird said
with a flick of his tail.
"I'd rather live quick
and leave a bright trail
than worry to death
each tiny detail."

"How like a god
as he surveys his land"
said the Dragonfly
as it sat on my hand.
"To have a home
and a wife by my side,
as darkness falls
to be able to hide."

"I dreamt I was a man
and he dreamt he was me"
said the Butterfly excited,
"all the things I could see!"
"Yes, a man for awhile
was a great thing to be,
but for now I'll just
fly around and be me."
