The Wing Walker

Old John's birthday was fast approaching, he'd be seventy-two And his family asked him nicely what he would like to do "Do you fancy a nice picnic or sightseeing on a train?" "No thanks" said Old John "I'd like to wing walk on a plane ". His family thought he was joking, in fun they all did mock They said "It will be freezing, and you might die of shock" He said" I have no fear, and everything will be just fine I found it on a website, and I've booked it on the line". His family they were mortified and thought that he was joking But one week from today Old John he'll be high flying A week later at the airfield Old John was quite ecstatic His family on the other hand were all starting to panic. He had his safety briefing and then put on all his gear Now he was raring to go, Old John he showed no fear He climbed up onto the wing and then he got strapped in The pilot gave him the thumbs up and soon they were flying. Up into the air now, they banked to the left and right His family they all agreed it was one awesome sight The pilot signalled to Old John, it was the grand finale This is what Old John had wanted all his family to see. The plane it dived then looped the loop, it was incredible to see Old John was already thinking of what his next stunt could be The plane then landed safely his family they were all so proud Old Johns ears were still ringing; the wind had been so loud. He'd felt the cold biting wind pressing hard against his face Jokingly he asked his family if it was still in one place His wife she then kissed him and asked, "How do you feel"? Old John said, "I'm starving now, I'm ready for a big meal". His son then asked him, what his next bold venture would be Old John laughed out loudly and said "A shark cage in the sea My life I see as a book with pages that are not written yet I always confront my fears or there will be blank pages of regret".
