Not Until The Cheese

Ninjastroni

Not until the cheese,

Can one stand beneath the trees’

Verdant shades of green, their leaves

Catching golden rays

Photosynthesizing the days

Outstretched limbs, cellulose displays

Flit, twitch, flutter

Listen to them mutter

To a swallowtail fly of butter

Who spends daylight hours

Brief visits to each of the flowers

Candied nectar the flutterby sips, devours

Zests such as these

Assorted assemblies appease

But not me, no sir, not until the cheese
