The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 5

Now,where was I? 
Oh yes! 
Safely strapped inside......... 
Lets see this baby fly 

This gravity is a tricky thing........... 
Very heavy stuff 
I feel so alive! 
C'mon!, let me drive! 

I counted down too............ 
and with an explosive sound 
We were off the ground 
How fast can it do? 

I was pinned back..... 
Deep into my seat 
I thought it was the weight , 
of my treasure sack 
I was in for a treat! 

The chap up front........ 
Said c'mon up! 
Don't be shy! 
See how it can fly! 

I pressed something green...... 
then something red............... 
Everything went haywire 
I really was in the mire 
If you know what I mean 

That something red............ 
Ticked off that chap instead 
What a quality of service! 
I must have made him nervous! 

Now, I was thinking 
All this floating......... 
That chap up front.......... 
Gloating! 
What's it all about 
Some chav upfront? 
The man's a lout! 


Well, it's time to get off 
So I put on this padded suit......... 
Ready to scoot......... 
When that chap upfront 
Gave me the boot! 

Luckily I have my bullet charm 
So, I will come to know harm 
Down I went! 
I didn't want to be here....... 
Nearly bought the farm, 
burning a hole , 
through the atmosphere! 

I know I will arrive 
Very much alive 
Avoiding the river Styx 
Why? 
I must write chapter six!
