Notes About The Poem

***
6/23/2019

This is a flight of fancy (pun intended)!

***

Squirrelly Shirley

Rocky squirrel flew through the air
Safely landing precisely where
He wished.

Caught glimpse as Shirley squirrel
(Herself in front of car did hurl)
Was nearly squished.

Rocky had warned Shirley before
Admonition Shirley chose to ignore-
Cars can smite

Such events reveal it's not merely heuristic
Fatalities by car is greater statistic
Than fatalities by flight

Interesting, heuristic and statistic... I guess those heuristics are a bit too mechanistic, eh?! 'Fancy' that! :) gw
