Ups and Downs

Let’s have a staycation, Ted said (he won’t fly because if he did he would certainly die) Don’t know how those aeroplanes stay in the sky You won’t change my thinking so please don’t try His wife said we just took a family vote We’re flying abroad while you go by boat We’ll get there first but we’ll try not to gloat You still can relax in the time you’re afloat And so off he goes with his luggage on board And calm is the sea so he feels quite assured The plane overhead not as high as you’d think That’s not his concern so he goes for a drink Was that his wife’s plane, she’s welcome to that You're safer afloat even if you’re a prat He said thank you God for the family vote It was about then that the plane hit the boat
