Caterpillar Eating Energy: To Transform Into Pupa Chrysalis Poem by Terence George Craddock

eat green leaves eat first what
eat the leaf caterpillar was born on
eating eating growing expanding

caterpillar exoskeleton skin molting
shedding outgrown skin several times
caterpillar growing growing growing

into full length prime weight size
energy to transform into pupa chrysalis
caterpillar is not resting caterpillar is

rapidly changing changing dissolving
body into death liquid to make new life
as dead heart must transform into new heart

caterpillar short stubby chubby no wings
we bid you adieu you little roly-poly
fur ball eating machine on stubby stubby legs
