Chicken Opens Skydiving School for Flightless Birds, Cites “Emotional Lift” as Legal Loophole

Ma said, “That hen done lost her yolk?”
Pa chuckled, “She teachin’ clouds to folk?”
Helmet snug and goggles tight,
She screamed, “Flight ain’t just a right–it’s spite!”
Rooster signed the liability waivers,
Scribbled in crumbs and bad behaviors.
Pig packed parachutes in haste,
While Goat debated gravity’s taste.
“It’s not the fall, it’s the screamin’ faith,”
Said Chicken midair, dodging a wraith.
Granny wept on launchpad straw,
“She’s defyin’ chicken law!”
Lou livestreamed every cluckin’ dive,
As hens soared like dreams on overdrive.
Now city gyms book chicken jumps,
For CEOs with midlife lumps.
The FAA just looks away–
“Let poultry rise if they must stray.”
