If a Bumblebee Can Fly, Why Can’t I?

If a Bumblebee Can Fly, Why Can’t I?
If a bumblebee can fly,
I must question why can’t I?
Will I find success or die
If I should give it a try?
Pursuing the idyllic dream,
A chance at one clandestine scheme,
I run and with a mighty jump
Launch, through the air, this porcine rump.
For a moment of pure exhiliration
I become one with the avian nation.
But gravity, I find, is no friend of mine
And reality proves that this portly swine
Returns heavily with such a squishy thud
And lands on his dignity, rump in the mud.
Oh, Mr. Bumblebee
Won’t you please, please tell me
All the secrets of your success
And stop laughing at my distress?

Cool! A lighthearted Mickey-taking, poke at… a fat butt trying to fly.
Irreverent.
I like it. Maybe I was in a similar rebellious mood, when I penned this strudel:
It’s about a Spider and a Fly.
Keep ’em coming.
