The Caterpillar Poem by Dr John Celes

Dangling down its silken thread,
A caterpillar came;
From atop a branch of tree,
After her feeding game.

Little did it think that there,
A leafy twig green stood,
While it began to descend down,
Dancing across the air.

It jumped in fright upwards from where
It attempted to fall;
The leafy branch too followed it,
And formed a bottom wall.

The Caterpillar sensed the leaves,
And found them succulent;
Alighting gently upon it,
It romped home happily!
