Random Doggerel, 15


Random Doggerel

Misnamed 6: tiger swallowtail butterfly

So many creatures in this name—
And none of them are, well, the same.

A tiger (can you hear it roar?)—
A swallowtail (it’s aft, not fore)—

A butterfly—oh, see it dance!—
As if it learned to dance in France.

And all these three combined in one?
Perhaps a name that’s overdone?
