Marilyn Lott - Sam and the Butterfly

One day I saw a sweet butterfly
Just as pretty as can be
My coal black tomcat, Sam
Was walking next to me

A beautiful summer day
I smiled and hummed a song
Enjoying this flitting butterfly
As Sam and I walked along

And suddenly, you’ll not believe
Without a single sound
Sam swiped his paw into the air
Knocking this butterfly to the ground!
