A FLUTTERBY

I had kind of a funny day -
Becky sent Fall leaves my way;
I saw a butterfly fly by
and land upon the flag I fly -

I took a picture of the flag
and tried to catch the butterfly.
But she had flown away by then
Goodbye, flutter by
come again ...

Flutterby
That's what I used to call them when I was little because for some reason I couldn't say butterfly.
