Flyer Drill: A Limericked Shove on Rising Above

Flyer Drill

A Limericked Shove on Rising Above

A woman who loved a good thrill

Plunged into the fire until

A true breach of trust

Left “Done” in the dust.

A louder bird shrieked ever shrill.

His crowings ignited a blaze,

Desiring her feathers to faze.

Like phoenix of old,

She’d rise again, bold,

Perhaps even self to amaze.

Her smoldering wings fluttered frail,

And still on the skies she would sail.

Each tumbling bruise

Her longings would loose.

To travel above her travail.
