Icarus ridiculous
believing he could fly
some people are content to dream
he had to go & try
why did no-one tell him
not to get too high
***
yes those thermals were amazing
& it seemed like a success
till melted wax & feathers
made such a bloody mess
***
but I don't go in for that sort of thing
I'm a feet-on-the-ground kind of guy
you won't catch me with a pair of wings
gazing wistfully at the sky
Icarus ridiculous
believing he could fly
