Lousy Pilot

(This is a fictional poem) I decided to fly planes for a living. I learned that there a lot of people who are unforgiving. At pilot school the tests were hard so I cheated. People beat the crap out of me and a doctor was what I needed. When I flew my one and only flight for Delta Airlines, I had to admit that I didn't know how to land the plane. I got my ___ kicked so many times that I take pills to dull the pain. I told the copilot to land the plane but he said he cheated too. People began to panic but then a kid figured out what to do. This ten year old boy landed the plane and everyone was relieved. Now I'm ashamed to admit that a ten year old is smarter than me.
