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

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
