No Parachutes

Two men left the airplane without parachutes One was a young student not too bright and out for fun He had sport sneakers on when he departed The old guy wore heavy worker boots as a rule Took one small step at a time when flying In fear that he might fall He was coming down with a cold or flu as well Torrential rain and eclectic winds caused poor visibility Vague city lights flickered on dark distant runways As fate would have it, the plane had already landed But the duration of the trip was long and tedious Only slight turbulence was experienced while in flight Now they simply have to fight the weather as predicted Two men and others left the airplane safe and sound Bound for separate destinations as designed Commercial airlines don’t offer parachutes to customers It is not their policy Beer and wine still cost three dollars on all flights As uneventful as may seem
