Arrows of the Sky


Zooming, booming, flashing by
Reckless riders of the sky
Acrobatics in the air
Plunging, tumbling everywhere

Roaring, soaring, up they dart
Now together, now apart
Swooping down like birds of prey
Here a second, then away

Back they come, these fearless fliers
skimming over roofs and spires
Perfect timing, like a clown
even when they're upside down

Looping loops with ease and skill
Out to dazzle and to thrill
Wish I were a pilot too
Then I'd join the Arrow crew
