Caterpillar


 Caterpillar 


The one 
With many
Legs 
To help 
Pull through, look
Like an invisible 
Twig
Many legs
To dance
The Irish Jig

Do you prefer
To be one
Like me
So many
Vivid colours
We can all see

Unpalatable to
The food taste
to a bird

Many legs we 
All have got
False are many
3 legs is our lot

Some of us 
Smell
It's not long
Before you
Find that
Out to tell

Clever as we
Are
Predators are
Never far

Life at the
Bottom of the
Food chain
Can be tough
to gain

We eat a fair 
Share of food
It helps us grow
Fat and good

12 eyes
To keep
Safe blind 
as a bat
With little 
Sight left

To help
My kind
One day
I may leave
My shell
Eat this part
Left as well

Giving 
Nutrition to grow
Into a huge
Big moth
To spread wings
put on
best
ever colourful 
show
Caterpillar 
Is who 
I am
