Perhaps I should have looked away
'averted my gaze' as posh folk say
but I wasn't sure of what I was seeing -
a bit of Nature brought into being?
Ignoring the need for human dating
there on a log two butterflies mating.

A famous poem

It doesn't need to have a name;
it doesn't matter who it's by;
it's what it says that gives it fame
and how it says it rates it high.
