Australian Gliders

Watching the people standing around
Sniffing the air and food is found
Nibbling under curious eyes
Being stroked by gentle hands
Gliding swiftly through the air
Because the sweetness is sitting there
The food was good, my belly's full now
These people like me and I like them
Don't put me back, I want to stay!
