Jumbo Jet Or Jackdaw

If only we could fly like those that tweet or hoot without aid of jet or parachute For I sure don't like wings that roar just so that they take off and soar Ah to fly without diesel or fuel Oh to halt that midair duel Birds they don't pollute the air nor need they any airline fare So if only I too could rise and glide and let the wind be my sole guide I'd be happy to fly all the way to 'em' stars if I was assured I'd risk no charred scars. Flying without aviation formalities I could be sightseeing many more cities Ah I so wish to fly just like a jay or jackdaw Then I'd fly across all and every border For I'd know nor follow no man-made law!

Aloha... enlightening thoughts and very well done young poet... the last two lines say the truth within... "For I'd know nor follow no man-made law!" this is the true freedom offered by such aforementioned thoughts... travelling with the power assist of one's mind... all of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michael.

What a clever way to express your views on flight. I'd rather leave it all to the birds. Well done and much enjoyed
