Pushed Poem by Ima Ryma

One day both Mom and Dad told me
That it was time to leave the nest,
That it was now the time to be
On my own, that parents know best.
Wow, this did come out of nowhere.
I'd gotten used to Mom and Dad
Giving me all my needed care.
It seemed a perfect life I had.
And so in protest I did squawk.
But as I did that, there occurred
Abrupt end to Mom and Dad's talk.
Out of the nest they pushed this bird.

And suddenly I am in flight.
Hey, Mom and Dad, you got it right!
