Take Flight

Take Flight

It's spring

The mother robin

Can only feed worms

To her chicks

Because worms

Were what she'd been fed

When she was a chick

If robins understood advertising

They'd feed M&Ms, Fritos, and Coca Cola

To their chicks

Then there would be fat robins

Laying around unable to fly

I wish my mother had fed me worms

Then I'd have been able to fly

Instead of just getting by

Believing everything I see

On glowing screens

Then going into advertising

Telling everyone I'd never met

Believe what I say

You can't fly

You can't fly
