To lift you and fly you away
Five million houseflies: To help you take flight
Four hundred thirty seven thousand Honeybees: That hopefully wouldn't sting
Sixty five thousand Butterflies: Straining with all their might
Eleven thousand Hummingbirds: In a blur of frantic wings
Four hundred thousand bats (winged rats!) : To bear you off without a sound
Four hundred forty one pigeons: In a swirl of blue and grey
Thirty one Bald Eagles: To lift both you and me off the ground
Fly us off to their aerie and then
…eat us straightaway…
