Like a Lark

Would it not be absurd If just like a bird We could live our lives up on the wing The things we could do As freely we flew Such freedom could make a man sing If just like the swift Our wings gave us lift And rarely would we need to land We’d flirt and we’d date And possibly mate In need of no tree, grass or sand But if on the ground Large snowflakes abound The people below might take issue For we’d even do Airborne number two And the snow is in fact toilet tissue

How did I know that this was coming? So clear that 'snow is toilet tissue.' (Yeah, sure). You are a Fountain of Creativity, Terry. Keep 'em coming. :) gw

Thanks, Gershon. I’ll do my best, once I’ve smashed my way out of a block. Terry

When I think about it… there’s so many things that I’m glad can’t fly. Glad you enjoyed, Ilene. Terry

White cars also seem to work quite well for the dear little feathered critters. I do rather like the idea of being "free as a bird", though, and I did thoroughly enjoy reading this delightful piece, Terry.
