Poem
Old John's birthday was approaching, he'd be seventy two And his family asked him nicely what he'd like to do "Do you fancy a nice picnic or sightseeing on a train" "No thanks" said Old John "I'd like to wing walk on a plane ". His family thought he was joking, in fun they all did mock They said "It will be freezing and you might die of shock" He said" I have no fear, and everything will be fine I found it on a website and I've booked it on the line". His family they were mortified and thought he was lying But one week from today Old John he'll be flying A week later at the airfield Old John was quite ecstatic His family on the other hand were all starting to panic. He had his safety briefing and then put on all his gear Now he was raring to go, Old John he showed no fear He climbed up onto the wing and then he got strapped in The pilot gave the thumbs up and soon they were flying. Up in to the air now, they banked to the left and right His family they all agreed it was one awesome sight The pilot signalled to Old John, it was the grand finale This is what Old John had wanted all his family to see. The plane it dived and looped the loop with one incredible move And then Old John thought to himself I've nothing left to prove The plane then landed safely his family they were so proud Old Johns ears were ringing, the wind had been so loud. He'd felt the cold wind pressing, hard against his face Jokingly he asked his family, If it was still in place His wife she then kissed him and asked "How did he feel"? Old John said "I'm starving now, I'm ready for a meal". His son then curiously asked him, what his next venture would be Old John he laughed out loudly and said "A shark cage in the sea" He said " I like to do these things and some of them I dread But then I think to myself, I'll be a long time dead" . (Go through life and confront your fears or your book of life will be filled with pages of regret) Written 6th February 2018
