I stood upon the Great Chinese Wall and drank a pint of alcohol. 'Twas then I had a thought, and heaved a heavy sigh. A bird is happy in the sky when he spreads his wings to fly. He is so, is he not? I saw a bird who could not be caught, a little avian astronaut. 'Twas then I heard him call. The inspector said, "how did he die? It's simple. This wall is high, but I would ask the question why he took this foolish fall."

Though sad, I love your story about “a little avian astronaut.” A fave…interesting through and through.
