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.
