What Are Angels Made Of?

I always wondered
when I saw those pictures
of angels flying around.
They're always painted
or described as looking nice.
I really never got
to see one
like in person.
I thought how nice
to have wings
and fly around.
I always wondered
how do you comb feathers.
I wondered if feathers
ever get itchy.
I wondered if
birds are kin to angels.
I wondered if a scared
angel was a chicken angel.
I heard that boys
were made of snakes
and snails and puppy
dog tails.
I heard that girls
were made of sugar
and spice and everything
nice.
I was told about the Easter Bunny,
Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy
and so many stories.
I was even told
and read some true stories.
I was told don't lie now
or the devil get you.
After them stories
you told me
and you told me
not to laugh
and be quiet
while you read to me.
I think the devil
got you a long time ago
but he was a fallen angel.
I always fall for angels
don't you?
