Streaming 'Cross the Sky

~ Streaming 'cross the sky ~ Day dawns from the window of a plane Red streaks across the sky Dispel the darkness in my brain Sailing smooth as the crow flies Upward to the clouds on wings a-glide Clear atmosphere on high down to the ground Drowsiness from eyes so swiftly flies Streaming 'cross the sky without a sound Landing on the runway right on time A feat of aviation quite routine One moment in Chicago, ere we climbed In New York ~ of miracles I dream

It is magic how we get on an airplane and BAM we are in another world. New York is certainly that!

And when I'm underground, then who am I? -- Perhaps 'Shmoo,' short for my middle name, Shmuel! Love you back, brother! ~ Full of baloney sausage

Have fun my friend. It will always amaze me that those big jets can get off of the ground.

Me, too. And how come relatively tiny guys like you and me can't get airborne? LOL. ~ Former Flapper
