Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 No Fly Elements

Air, Water, Sky, Fire and Earth be

A band of chickens running to

Determine elementally 

Why long flight's something they can't do.

They spread their wings and take off for

A flight that's only short and sweet.

As flying birds, chickens do poor,

And too soon land back on their feet.

The wings of chickens are too small

To keep their large bodies in flight.

And so this band of chickens all

Find elements to fly aren't right.

But they keep running in the hope

They'll fly the coop but alas - nope!
