Air Sharks
There are many birds of prey
on any given day,
those that roam the skies above
seeking rabbit, squirrel, or morning dove.
But far away they stay
for what can harm these birds of prey.
Huge beasts made by hand
that take off and land.
Roaming first on the ground seeking humankind for that is their design.
Their bodies are fat and round
and inside them, their human cargo can be found.
Their wings holding powerful motors are long and thin
to lift the precious payload within.
Their noses are round and blunt
with eyes that can see on the sides, up and in front.
But it is their tail that gives them their name
whether ground cruising or stopped, it is the same.
So if you see a fin or two on the land it should be no surprise
for you could deduct and surmise.
An airport is where you will be,
looking from the inside or out you will see.
These fixed wing creatures first lumber then with a mighty roar
up in the sky they soar.
So next time you're waiting for a flight, look out and see
if with me you don't agree.
There are planes of various kinds but they're all Air Sharks
