Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

We Will Be Landing Shortly

We Will Be Landing Shortly

By Elton Camp

People who fly might have a nervous fit
If they take a little peek inside the cockpit

Dials, knobs, switches and gadgets galore
No pilot can know what they are all for

The lives of those on board hang by a thread
Any serious mistake and they’ll all be dead 

Who knows if the pilot has had a big snort
Or is sleepy as too late at night he did cavort

And perhaps at the most critical junction
Some instrument will decide to malfunction

But the law of gravity firmly does decree
The plane inevitably on the ground will be

David Williams May 27, 2012 at 2:03 PM Elton , thanks I was just about to book a flight..David Elton Camp May 28, 2012 at 10:11 AM LOL, glad to give you some comforting thoughts while you travel. I did a lot of flying back when I was working and never a serious problem. It's safer than driving, but I don't like the feeling of no control whatever. Elton
