since the beginning of time man has dreamed of being more like a bird

[betteroffbad]

wouldn't it be a better world if
instead of working at a desk and getting stiff
in my knees and back the way I do
I could go flying through the air like you

of course then I would have to eat worms
and probably my feathers would be full of germs
and my stools would be proverbially loose
still sometimes I wish I could fly like a goose
