Cardboard Wings (Dinosaur Day)

On a dark & stormy morning 
Way back N second grade 
Dressed as a pterodactyl 
For my school's dinosaur day 

I truly believed if I jumped and 
Began flapping my cardboard wings 
I'd really fly away from the storm 
Whipping Me with wicked whirlwinds 

Yet I never did, as I didn't know 
Where I would land, and thought 
I would just get carried away N 
Spinning wind, so proving again 
History likes repeating trends
