If the Butter Flies

By K. Naga Prathyusha; Illustration by Shinod A.P.

Punning seems to be a way of life for K. Naga Prathyusha - a class XI student of St. Joseph's Convent, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India.

I just love to see a butterfly,
But never have I seen the butter fly.
What I wonder is,
If the butter flies
Attracting all the flies
That stick like the lazy ones.

The flies, bulging round and round
Look so very like Hulkhogan,
The great body builder,
Who is unable to fly.

And so the flies meet their destiny
Gosh! They fall with a great thud.
And the flying butter just melts
Oops! What a buttery sight that would be!
