The Skies Their Trapeze

     Acrobats of the air, the skies their trapeze
        Daring loop-de-loops performed with such ease

     They fly in formation, weave in and out, while
        the faint-hearted scream, the lion-hearted shout    
     Though the pilots themselves have nary a doubt  

     Just what kind of substance flows through their veins 
        ~ the kind that cuts the heart out of their brains
