The Flight

Here is "The Flight", the fifth part of the Pincushion:

Part V: (The Flight)

Mountains Loomed ahead,
But still the Emus “Went” on –
For they had to still

They also had to
Distill the Water in the
Çhäshmísh LÅk of Äfrngrbr

But the Water did
Not want itself to be Used
For the Emus’ Ways

It Wanted To be
Restilled in A Frying Pan –
A fate worse than Life

Life was to irate
And way too overrated
For the LÅk water

So the emus wept
Because the water was tough,
And got too delayed

At long last they ceased
Wiping their eyes (somehow), they
All stood up to leave.

The water cried out:
We didn’t mean it at all!
Emus wept again

Okay, they said, if
You are truly sorry, you
Will show your remorse

Do not be so tough,
Then we will take you, and then –
There comes – the Ringing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Water cried out
In shock and in five pieces,
You can not do that!

It’s against the Law;
Bígh Brüûr will imprison you –
For it is his Will

Then the Emus said,
Take us to Bígh Brüûr, we want
To See him up close.

The Water could do
Nothing but to obey Them –
For they pledged to go

And The Water moved
To The East, to the Dark Zoo –
Where Bígh Brüûr did Lie

The Emus Followed,
For it was Their only hope –
As They went, they said:

Quintessentially,
Iowa is Iowa –
It’s Mediocre
