Rosie murdered a butterfly

Rosie murdered a butterfly

Rosie murdered a butterfly.
I stood and watched her do it.
She started with the wingtips.
And then she chewed right through it.

Rosie murdered a butterfly.
I was a witness to the mauling.
She’ll ask me for an alibi.
If the cat cops come a calling.

The butterfly said to Rosie:
“You’ll go to prison without pardon.”
For shitting on the lush green lawn
In the next-door-neighbour’s garden.

Rosie murdered a butterfly.
As I stood there and observed it.
But I won’t turn my poor cat in.
The butterfly deserved it.

    Hello they call me PC Meow.
    I’m here to question Rosie.
    It seems the bugs around here now.
    Are really awfully nosey.

    The ladybug had seen it all.
    According to her statement.
    It ended in a gruesome pool
    Of blood across the pavement.

    The spider told the worm and snail.
    What he had heard from Ladybug.
    The suspect had an all black tail,
    Whiskers and a guilty mug

    So, once again I’m PC Meow.
    I’m here to question Rosie.
    I think I better take her now.
    Before she gets too cozy.
