Yellow butterfly wanted to show his patriotic side So he had a tattoo put on with red and white stripes so wide I need my dots painted blue too, please make it snappy It was not the right blue, but it was close, and made him happy He flew around the parade on the 4th of July feeling amazingly smart Some of the veterans cheered him and said “You have a lot of heart!” He liked his new colors so much, he kept them the rest of his life. They made him dazzle, and helped him get a beautiful wife.
