Little moth

 

Little moth

flying to the light.

Squiggly death defying circles in a;

squiggly death defying plight.

 

O little moth!

don’t fly to the light bulb so close,

or else you’ll finish up

a fried up little moth-y ghost.

 

But round and round in a circle he goes

like a teddy bear.

One step / two step,

into the burning snare.

 

Frizzle - frat - Zap,

Now the little moth is gone.

Poor little moth got caught up in this

ancient sexual phenomenon.

 

And here comes another,

he’s headed for the same Karma.

And if he doesn’t watch out he’s ganna finish up in the same

moth-y Zig - Zagging squiggly drama.
