Handy Andy

Andy's guided a train
  Flown a small plane
Steered the wheel of a ship
  Spurred a horse with a whip

Maneuvered a 64-foot truck
   Kayaked in a typhoon
Won a motorcycle race
   Landed perfectly on the moon

Then Andy went on a date
  Pop, Pop -- two flat tires
Said, 'I'm not much with my hands'
  Asked his date, 'Can you use these pliers?'

'Plausible,' -- now there's a word to tuck away for use at the right time. Thanks, Caren
