Daddy, daddy, why fly so much <br />Do you want to be a bird? <br />People cannot fly daddy <br />At least, that's what I've heard; <br /> <br />It costs a lot of pennies <br />So stay here on the ground; <br />Then all the little pennies <br />Will soon become a pound; <br /> <br />And you can buy me presents <br />And sweets and such-like things... <br />But if you must, dear daddy <br />Please buy yourself some wings. <br /> <br />(Written April 2014)<br /><br />John Carter Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flo-s-lament/
