Butterfly Lexicon

Sometimes I see a nimbus of butter flies other times they’re just a puzzle or a tar radiddle to my eyes.

Would you look at that quandar y of butterflies? I ask a stranger, or do they call it a quibble?

We’re expecting a downpour tomorrow says the weather man and I k now he speak s of butter flies.

A peccadillo, a meander, a complicit y perhaps I’m just conf used — a confabulation of butter flies.

For you, my love, I stir an eli xir of song, dance, and joy a philter of butter flies.
