A Pilot Is Needed In the Cockpit

A Pilot Needed in the Cockpit By Elton Camp In movies, pilot and copilot conk out But always, a half-way pilot is about But not for many years has he flown Perhaps in the air force he was shown Or maybe he was the cause of a crash And thinks as a pilot he is just trash He’ll protest his incompetence a while But lands the plane when under trial But if that situation should really arise, Would such a person be in the skies? If not, then whatever would they do Since trained folks are actually few? Instead of ending safely on the ground, It’s most likely none would stay around The plane would probably go into a dive Not a single person would remain alive
