Poetry: Extended "Butterflies and Moths"

Poetry: Extended version of "Butterflies and Moths" or "Double Standards"

              I could never harm a butterfly/ But I could kill a moth

              Butterflies are graceful./ Moths eat your cloth.

              Butterflies are nice and bright./Moths burn up when drawn to light.

              On your sweaters moths do bite./ In your home do not invite.

               If moths were human I'd indict./ Through open window they'll take flight.

               But they'll sneak in when it is light.

                   I could kick some pigeons but I'd never harm a dove

                   Pigeons are squalid./ Doves signify love.

                   Pigeons are filthy when handled with gloves

                   Some say doves are from Up Above

                   Pigeons live life like a slob

                    But taste quite good when served as squab.

              I would never harm a bee

              But I could kill a wasp

              Bees pollinate flowers

              Wasps can sting you non-stop...(tbc?)
