Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Played a Hunch

A leopard grabbed a bird in flight,

And was about to eat for lunch,

When the bird, aware of its plight,

Chirped to the leopard on a hunch,

"Hey leopard, if you set me free,"

"A magic feather I will give."

"And if you stick it on your head,"

"You can fly, if you let me live."

The leopard thought this such a deal,

And took the feather from the bird.

The bird, saved from being a meal,

Did think to itself, "How absurd!"

"Hey leopard, best of luck to you,"

And off to freedom the bird flew.
