The Butterfly Boy
Little Jimmy Dipkins caught butterflies for fun
He knew where to find them, was ever so kind to them,
He patted their little antennae with love
Soon, within Jimmy, the butterflies found joy
They'd fly 'round behind him, above, and beside him
And little Jimmy became the butterfly boy
But one day Jimmy said, 'Please call me James'
He left home for law school, got married, and moved to
a big fancy house on a big fancy lake
Attorney James Dipkins was walking one day
The butterflies found him, then flew all around him
But Attorney James Dipkins had a very big case
The butterflies cried, 'Jimmy, why won't you play?'
They wept and they moaned
They said, 'Jimmy, Come home!'
And Jimmy said, 'Wait - Look guys, I'm an adult.
I can't be seen playing with butterflies.
Are there not other young boys with whom you can play?'

With one soft, sad sigh the butterflies left
Adult human James went to argue his case
And the earlier hour gave way to the rest
Deep in the court rooms Attorney James lost
What had he missed? That detail, or this?
He left in dismay. What to say to the boss?
Outside the courthouse Adult James turned home
When there on his left hand, a butterfly landed
And Attorney James Dipkins felt much less alone
Now Attorney James Dipkins is the butterfly man
On his way to a case, they flutter in place
and he wins every one with the slight of his hand
When James has grown old and his cases are done
He'll tell all his children and wee bitty grandchildren,
'You are never ever too old to have fun.'
