Up, Up, Up! or Down, Down, Down!

by Jeffrey Schauermann


Flying, flying, flying, high,
     O're the mountainous streams,
O're the grassy plains,
     O're the smoke-puffing trains.


 Flying, flying, flying, low,
      Grazing tops of spindly trees,
Sighting land good for these,
      Touching down, light as fleas.
