Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Champion Whitetail

1997 in France,
A long distance pigeon race be,
A mysterious circumstance -
Pigeons disappeared eerily!
Tens of thousands of birds took flight -
Somewhere, somehow just disappeared.
The reason never came to light.
Something did happen - something weird!
Champion Whitetail was found nearby,
On the same day as was the race.
Sitting, too exhausted to fly,
With no words to explain his case.

Abducted by aliens that day,
But Champion Whitetail got away!
