Birds Drop In With Questions


(Birds Don’t Catch Falling People)


Fly high on the happy open sky little ones

Sometimes birds collide with jets in flight

Humans have the right of way in aerospace

Why is there so much traffic?


Passengers like to step outside for fresh air

Sometimes they forget their parachutes

To confine people in small places is wrong

What ever happened to imagination?


Birds wonder why people don’t eat more bugs and seeds

How do they fly without feathers and wings?


Colliding with birdies is the least of their problems

Birds don’t catch falling people all the time

In fact never if you don’t mind


Don’t worry about our friends in free fall

They think about religion and politics going down

And how to lose weight at the gymnasium

And make a loud thud upon landing
