This is based off of a conversation I heard two five-year-olds having on a plane in the Hyderabad airport last December. It did indeed have “windmills” since it was an oldish plane. We ended up not actually going anywhere on it, but I guess it was a quaint experience while it lasted.

Wings (version 1)

The first one said
a plane is a nonliving thing
and his companion ever the pragmatist
replied how do you know?

He explained that it had windmills right
outside the window there look
and was corrected in due course of
course, those are called propellers

and there they left it proofless
two small philosophers
because, after all, anything with wings is
different and who knows what
soul man has forged into metal
