Names Taking Off Poem by Douglas Scotney
Names Taking Off
Sky has taken off in Australia;
Sea and Land have not.
Are there no Mers or Terres in France;
of Ciels are there a lot?
Sphère I'll bet hasn't taken off there,
just as Sphere hasn't here.
Atmos sounds good;
but it comes from the Greek for 'vapour',
so it's as likely to take off as Gas or Wind,
i.e. as likely as grounded as Sinned.
