A Sky High Adventure
Hengleman Huggermuff wished he could fly
and gazed up longingly at the bright azure sky,
he got two feathers, tied them onto his arms
and attempted to fly in the fields and the farms
Alas poor Hengleman didn’t get off the ground
it was evident that he’s deemed to be earthbound
Every night in bed he dreamed that he could fly
when it did not come true he’d lie there and cry
He went to the Pollygawk and asked her advice
and if she helped him to fly he’d be in paradise
The Pollygawk asked all the birds and the bees
If they’d help Hengleman fly up past the trees
The bees produced honey to brush on his suit
whilst birds stuck on feathers, he looked very cute
Then the birds and bees towed him into the air
when he flapped his arms he flew with such flair
In his honeyed bird suit he glided in the jet stream
at last Hengleman’s finally fulfilled his one dream
