The Ostrich

There once lived an Ostrich who wished he could fly,
But Sadly Bob's wings would not reach the sky.
His brothers and sisters all laughed and made fun,
His mother would tell him - "God made us to run!"
Yet locked in a zoo, Bob just felt like a dud,
He was tired of sticking his head in the mud.
So one day he thought - "I'll make a machine."
Determined he worked, completely unseen.
After days upon days, he appeared in the light,
With a great wooden plane that was ready for flight.
He stepped in the seat, and started the gas,
He dream coming true, he was leaving at last!
Away from the pack, he waved a goodbye,
Bob showed them all - an Ostrich could fly.

Thank you, thank you. I know, it's amazing. Made it in math class.

Haha, it's cute. I like it

It's funny and light, and although it's not very good poetry, it has a nice message and puts a new spin on an old concept. And it has a good ending, which is essential as it's the most important part of any poem.

Good job!

Err, that was an...odd compliment. So you think it's not good poetry...?

That made me smile.

Good job, Toxic Waste. I loved the rhyming scheme.

edit: Emanick thinks everything sucks. Don't listen to him.

I thought it was really good. I got that good tingle you get when you hear something good rofl. About an ostrich

Nice work

Technically, yeah. But for some perspective, some books aren't especially good quality but fun and funny to read (I'd give examples, but the only ones coming to mind this late at night are ones lower than our reading level, so I doubt you'd want them compared to this), and this is the sonnet equivalent of them. I like it, even though its quality isn't stellar.

Well in general, this is more of a little kid poem to begin with. I don't take offense if you compared it to such.
