Frailty

      a paraglider
        sails over me

      I, green with envy
        he, mocking me

The only time I relate to the word "fly", is when someone notices my zipper slipped ... or dare I say it ... I forgot to zip up. :-) Nice Couplet, Gershon. Bill

He might mock, but he lacks the capacity of the seagull to humiliate. (and he has to fit that thing in his car) J :)

Ah, but if your buckle fails, your pants sag a little… if his buckle goes… his bowels let Rip! Keep you feet on Terra-firma … you know it makes sense.

LOL! I was terrified to do it. We had a tour guide from Fiji release my husband into the air, then dip his toes into the sea (shark bait). He made me promise that next time I would try it. When I did I loved it! I see your turning green…lol
