I once knew a caterpillar with two heads<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One named Jeff and the other named Geoff<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They would always want to head in different directions, but we’re stuck together<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like glue on a cold frying pan<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff was ever the optimist.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding his own path before evolving into a beautiful butterfly and spreading his wings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Geoff\u2019s outlook on life was so upbeat<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t want to be left alone<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was happy sharing a body with Jeff, but he knew this wasn\u2019t normal<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No other caterpillars had two heads<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Geoff was half responsible for that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life wasn\u2019t normal for Jeff and Geoff<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But what would I know?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
