Those Magnificent Men…

Surrender then to the abyss,
ambition mere disaster,
your dreams of flight have gone amiss
and gravity’s your master.

The design seems to have a flaw,
the wings look very flimsy;
methinks you’ll end up very sore,
your plans are really whimsy.

Fine example of brave humanity,
unless, of course, it’s just insanity.
