A Pilot of Paper Planes

Always wanted to be a pilot With a paper plane, I tried it Guided it into a candle’s flame So much for my lifelong aim

Qops! Well, all's well that ends well, since you probably got the flames out quickly. I really can't imagine explaining that to the insurance company otherwise!

Insurance? Covering damage from a paper plane? Drat it. My policy just expired... lol.

Ha so sorry buddy. If you fail try again, and avoid that flame. It is better to try and fail than to fail to try... You tried...

I tried. I cried. ... OK... I lied. I laughed! :) gw
