Flying Blind Like the Dodo

on a shoestring diet only going around in circles ~ yo yo inside a huge tornado just somewhere over the rainbow ~ toto happily oblivious on a corkscrew rollercoaster ~ ho ho somersaulting off the high board heading for a bellyflop ~ no no paratroopers landing awkwardly behind enemy lines ~ go go highly intelligent beings orbit the densest planet ~ so so A STRAND (1063) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand 02/01/22

Well a big clue is paradoxically the densest most intelligent one in the solar system, turns out to be the third rock from the sun, lol, cheers David
