Marshmallow and Monarch

Marshmallows

I love camping, there is no doubt

A tent, canoe, and food to cook out

But my favourite thing and my answer is quick

Is a sticky marshmallow on a pointed stick

I like to wait till the embers die down

Find an oven- like space to toast it just brown

My friend likes a torch of flaming goo

I find it too messy...but it's tasty too

But if you're an adult and you want something more

Then just try your hand at creating a  "Smore

Marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker stack

Melted just right a most heavenly snack.

The Monarch

Maybe it's his regal name that gives the Monarch so much fame

Maybe it's the shiny cocoon, like a jewel, from which he came

Or maybe it's his gorgeous colour so quick to spot among the flowers

Or flitting in the summer sky that gives the butterfly its powers

His striped caterpillar body is really vibrant this is true

But the orange winged butterfly is best known to me and you

Of all the butterflies in all the colours our attention is forever drawn
