To be a bird

Would you like to be a bird,
And fly up in the sky,
Dart around the puffy clouds,
And soar up oh so high?

Eating worms and slimy things,
Pecking bark for grubs,
Munching fleas and bottle flies,
And other kinds of bugs?

Would you like to be a bird,
The sovereign of the sky?
If you do, so please yourself,
But as for me... Not I!

    You should do a illustrated book of poetry. These are wonderful!

      Thank you! I write to please myself, but it’s always nice when someone else appreciates it too. I’ve thought about doing something like that… Maybe some day
