  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    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.
