Flying through the air with the greatest of care, <br />Birds can go just about anywhere. <br />It's amazing to me just to see, <br />How much lung power can fling you over trees. <br />The world must appear exhilarating for free, <br />As any other way would cost you a month's pay. Imagine if birds would be able to smoke, <br />Not only could they not fly, they would choke. <br />The air would be polluted amongst the flock, <br />They wouldn't be known as America's alarm clock. Imagine a world without nature's awakening, <br />The beauty of nature would be earthshaken. <br />But now teenagers send smoke up to the sky, <br />Why they don't stop nobody knows why, <br />The poor birds can hardly breathe. <br />If birds had a choice, they would sound their voice. <br />By putting a NO SMOKING sign in the trees.<br /><br />Karen Egleston<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-birds-don-t-smoke/
