Let's Go Fly a Kite

With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Marry Poppins (1964)


Materials required for building a kite:

Paper
String
2 Sticks
Glue
Scissors
Crayons for decorating kite
Box knife.
Blue Cross medical insurance ID card.

A skill I did not know I had: putting children into their car seats while I caudal my paper towel wrapped, bloody stump of a hand, after attempting to build a kite using a box knife.

The irony is the wound was only inches away from a scar I received the last time I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife. I don’t know how much a tuppence is but I would bet it is allot less than a co-payment to ones medical insurer.

A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night.

The Lesson of the Day-

Always cut away, NEVER towards.
