Butterfly Laughter

In the middle of our porridge plates
There was a blue butterfly painted
And each morning we tried who should reach the
butterfly first.
Then the Grandmother said:  “Do not eat the poor

butterfly.”
That made us laugh.
Always she said it and always it started us laughing.
It seemed such a sweet little joke.
I was certain that one fine morning
The butterfly would fly out of our plates,
Laughing the teeniest laugh in the world,
And perch on the Grandmother’s lap.

  1. skinnyuz2b – At the ripe old age of thirty-three, I married my hometown sweetie. He was in sixth grade when I graduated, and NO, he was not my sweetie or anything else until many years later. At thirty-six I had my first child and now have four adult children (who chronologically could each be my grandchild). They keep me young or add more gray hairs, depending on which child and which day.
