Sharks of the Air

Oh not again! This sickening fright of height please Fade away like dreams of a lazy man Some thousand feet below A sight of vacuum seems so terrific, a daymare! Thick white smoky-breath envelops me In the belly of the flying shark Swimming through the oceanic sky Oh not again! My frail heart beats faster than a locomotive Cracking a fringe rib craving an escape Now snows of sweats froze me Yet I sat, luxuriously uncomfortable Trying to force a fearful and friendly smile While looking away the steel-fish’s eyes Playing-cool, while it swum through the oceanic sky Alas, it made way ashore I, highly spirited but scared to move, damn not again!
