theres caterpillars in my garden they just love to munch
eating all my cabbage with a crunch crunch crunch
then on to the cauliflower for another chew
they are everywhere there are quite a few
when they all have finished. on there eating spree
my veg patch it is empty nothing left for me
maybe next year i will build a netted cage
stop the caterpillars from there munch munch stage
they will move along find somewhere else to lunch
find another place where they can munch munch munch

I value all life and especially the beautiful butterflies that come from the caterpillars but in the case of my garden I value the life of the vegetables more and would have to poison the little buggers letting them take their own lives by suicidal ingestion. A fun read Jim

Nicely written, your poem is the struggle of a gardener against the destructive munching of caterpillars, highlighting the tension between nature and human efforts in agriculture. The poet focuses on the caterpillars’ voracious eating habits and the gardener's frustration with the loss of their vegetables. It reflects a common experience for gardeners who wish to nurture their plants but must contend with pests.
