Kite envy
Hahaha!
Look at those silly birds
Who try to fly while chained to the ground?
Don’t they know how foolish they look?
When the only way they can fly…
Is down?
They appear even more bizarre in their colors
Red, green, purple and orange
Somewhere the circus must be missing a bunch of flying clowns
We mock them all day because they cannot soar
But do crazy little dances with tails like monkeys
And run away like scared little rabbits at each sign of pours
Even though we are the feathered friends
And they…the toys
We secretly long to be like them
And have the pleasure of being loved…by one little boy
