Paper Airplanes I made paper airplanes decades ago One super creation I named Zoomo Once my Zoomo and I took off in flight Lift off was on the first stroke of midnight. I was the pilot and what fun we had If the folks had seen us they'd have gone mad Freedom's elating, no hullabaloo Able to do all things you wish to do. First stop just had to be a moon landing Though the surface was not fit for standing The moon said that he was made of soft cheese If we weren't careful we'd sink in with ease. So we took off to meet Venus the star She was so beauteous it was bizarre Her hair was a stunning shade of bright gold And many stories from the past she told. She told of her romance with Adonis A hunter to whom marriage was promised But by a wild pig he was killed outright Now she rules o'er love and beauty by night. Then we zoomed higher and higher up sky And heard angels singing as we flew by Zoomo said we were close to paradise So I then u-turned our speedy device. Realising soon day would be dawning And had to fly back home before morning We arrived safely and I got in bed Just as mother said "wake up sleepy head.” *+*+* 14th August 2022 *+*
