Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Pushed

One day both Mom and Dad told me

That it was time to leave the nest,

That it was now the time to be

On my own, that parents know best.

Wow, this did come out of nowhere.

I'd gotten used to Mom and Dad

Giving me all my needed care.

It seemed a perfect life I had.

And so in protest I did squawk.

But as I did that there occurred

Abrupt end to Mom and Dad's talk.

Out of the nest they pushed this bird.

And suddenly I was in flight.

Hey, Mom and Dad, you got it right!
