it sits silently in the night, bound to the earth
waiting to leave its tethers behind
but it has no choice in these matters
as it is subject to that common irony
in which it's creators have become its oppressors
so it can only wait in the night
until it is allowed to soar

but, because it will soar again, it suffers this indignity for now
and lurks in the trees for awhile
accepting its ignoble name
"snoopy one"
because it will soar again
fot it is
BLIMP!

(yup, I'm a little weird, and tongue is firmly planted in cheek)
