If I could be a dragonfly,
I�d blaze a trail across the sky.
I�d zig and zag, stop and hover,
Dive-bomb your head as you take cover.
I�d dart and zoom, juke and dive,
Four wings a flutter so alive.
Buzz your ears with 4-speed power,
Sip nectar from a blooming flower.
I�d play shadow tag with the sun,
Fly figure eights just for fun.
I�d take a New York City tour,
Fly night and day and still want more.
I�d whoosh past meadows, whiz by fields,
Go like a bullet dodging car windshields.
I�d flit and dash, rush and scurry,
Watch the world pass by and never worry.
I�d whirl around all afternoon,
Rocket skyward circling the moon.
I�d set a pace with high velocity,
Soaring fast and feeling free.
I�d take a Northern course, really hustle,
Make a U-turn for a southbound bustle.
I�d plummet low then go sky high,
Oh how I wish I were a dragonfly.
