The caterpillar'S song
Caterpillar! Caterpillar!
Yes I am the wonderful caterpillar
The giver of food of life
When I lose my soul
Cause I am savoury in egusi soup
To men of wonderful tastes
But during the life's seasons
I hid myself in the Atlas Mountain
Roaming in the dews of the mornings
But when it is famine days
I shift my tent to the forestlands
Seeking the greener pasture
In swarms of decending glees
But I am satisfied with this song
That I have reached my peak
Before the dust was cast.
