CHANGE
(An Acrostic)

Cocoons are hard and very strong;

Hiding inside, do the caterpillars long,

Awaiting that weird and awesome change?

Nothing else is quite so strange.

Growing at long last into butterflies

Exchanging earth for the endless skies.

ABSTINENCE!

I tried being good for a while.

But halos are not my style!

I prayed for one

(Something rarely done

By the human rank and file)!

*

It arrived at once in the post

But, before I could even boast,

I found my prize

Wasn't quite my size

So I wrote to the Holy Ghost.....

*

And I said 'The halo you sent

Has filled me with discontent;

It slips over my ears!

How odd it appears!

It's not quite the type I meant!'

*

I knew that I couldn't win,

So I chucked the whole thing in.

I stopped being good

(Well, you knew that I would)

And went back to a life of sin!
