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.
