Little Tommy Tadpole began to weep and wail,
For little Tommy Tadpole had lost his little tail;
And his mother didn't know him as he wept upon a log,
For he wasn't Tommy Tadpole, but Mr. Thomas Frog.

Indented at the intented or?
The lines are of a sheet before a picollo of light alliteration and then a set up for why don't you pick one from the sorts of "Growing Up" there are to see.
Similar to the dramatic change would of course be the butterfly, but subtlety is then, people are looking like the parent when born but not strongly like that very child's birth face etcetera when grown up! The formality of moving from the diminutive name to the mature with an image to match of one who "lost his little tail" with a male's identity can be likened to a boy losing his toys or his baby voice... ironically gaining an Adam's apple in the neck of a guy maybe. Nice little launch through nature around us, it seems. -
