Blue Paint and Duct Tape

I fly this plane – a corsair model It always responds when I pull back the throttle Round and round and round it dashes And then sometimes, somehow it crashes Then I jump in – get her back in shape With just blue paint and old duct tape And I’ve got a friend with another corsair When we go out flying we make quite a pair We practice take-offs and some touch – and – goes Getting prepared to take them to shows But when we get careless and get into scrapes We pull out the blue paint and our rolls of duct tapes I wish that life was like when we fly All peaceful and friendly and when things go awry We might panic for seconds then we’re done with it We pick up the pieces and see where they fit We don’t point and blame, we admit our mistake Then we make it all better with blue paint and duct tape Mdailey 10/15/11 For Jerry and Beau and their RC model planes

Yes, indeed, if only life were so simple! My late uncle loved flying his RC model plane too.
