Miss-Identified

They said do not change seats on the plane For we know your name and where you are sat I am called Fred and I was sat in the aisle seat I wanted to sit by the window and see the view Especially as the big Boeing flying boat took off The water looked so blue and lovely as we sped along We took off and it was worth changing seats The elderly man understood and changed The view was awesome and to die for The big engines pulling us along to the sky When we arrived in New York I’d tell my mum It was Christmas and I had been staying with my aunt The trip was six hours and I got to look out the window I would get into trouble if the airline clerks found out If we crashed and burned or eaten by fish They would go off our name and seat number Matching it up to our ticket and passport I was too young to have a passport But that was fine for we were safe in the plane Boeing built big safe planes especially water ones Just wait till I told my mum about the view From our big beautiful Boeing flying boat...
