If only we could fly like
those that tweet or hoot,
without aid of jet or
parachute-
For I sure don't like
wings that roar
just so they take off
and soar
Ah, to fly without petrol, diesel
or fuel
Oh, to halt that taloned midair
duel
Birds they don't pollute
the air
nor need they any airline
fare
So if only I too could rise
and glide
and let the wind be my
sole guide
I'd be happy to fly all the
way to 'em' faraway stars
if I was assured I'd risk
no charring scars.
Flying without aviation
formalities
I could be sightseeing
many more cities.
I wish we did not require a visa
to visit the pyramids of Giza
or even the leaning tower of Pisa
Ah, I so wish to fly just
like a jay or jackdaw
Then I'd fly across all and
every border
For I'd know nor follow
no man-made law!
