My excuse is, I took it in a hurry.
But, there is something interesting about it, you'll find,
if you'll bear, a little bit, with me.
At the bottom of the picture, you see some wooden planks,
and then some slabs of stone,
and two bigger stones, green with algae,
and then some pots on top of them, and at the back, some plants.
Just in front of the bigger stones, green with algae,
there's a kind of chain of blackish things on the ground;
and if you were there, to breathe the air,
you won't be surprised to find, the blackish things to be a pile of dog shit.
And before you think, "This silly spoilt person thinks that dog shit is interesting? Why?"
It's not the dog shit I find amusing,
But how, look closely now,
on the dog shit, there rests a rather large orange-black-brown-winged butterfly.
It was there for quite a while -
long enough for me to have had hesitated then hurried to take the picture -
flapping its wings slowly, like how butterflies sometimes do,
when they rest to feed on nectar.
Okay. Then, take a look around you, at the dainty butterflies with pretty wings,
Adorning your own or your wife's, daughter's, niece's girly things,
Curtains, blankets, clothes, bags, hair clips, necklaces, rings,
And imagine them to be resting, and maybe feeding, on dog shit.
Come on, you've gotta agree with me, at least a little bit, that it is entertaining.
