Bathroom Break

The captain got up – to the co-pilot said You take control and I’ll hit the head The plane was in holding – just waiting to land But the pilot was gone much longer than planned Then a knock on the door and a password repeated By a man with an accent that should have been seated The co-pilot called in to the guys on the ground Said the pilot’s gone back and now he can’t be found Then the man with the accent said he’s locked in the loo He gave me the password and said come get you The co-pilot said I won’t open the door And the guys on the ground said don’t say any more We’ll scramble the jets just in case there’s a need And get you to land with the greatest of speed And then from the cockpit a new voice was heard I’m the captain, I’m all right, and I give you my word I was back in the john and the door handle broke I pushed and I shoved till I broke out – no joke And the man with the accent just tried to help out He came to my aid when he first heard me shout So unscramble those jets, there’s no problem up here We’re safe and secure and there’s nothing to fear So just let us land, get this plane on the ground This is one bathroom break I will never live down Mdailey 11/17/11
