Wind Beneath My Wings

Here's a good question - What would YOU do If a plane you were sitting in, travelling to Some hot sunny beach or a swimming pool blue Suddenly started to shake and to shiver? Making its passengers tremble and quiver? I know what I'd do 'coz it happened to me! I stood up and shouted loud, "I need a wee!" Then I ran to the toilet and locked myself in (with the passengers yelling and making a din) And when the plane started to dip and to dive And everyone wondered if they would survive I pushed a small button that looks just like this: º A button so small it is easy to miss A button so secret, so magically cool A one-in-a-million life-saving tool.... One push - and excitement swelled up in my heart As I thought of the fun that was going to start! "EVERYONE, SIT IN YOUR SEATS RIGHT AWAY!", the air hostess yelled, "LET THERE BE NO DELAY!" Then out of the loo came a deafening ROAR As all of the gases contained in that store All of the passengers' trumps and their boffs Their parps and their toots and their sly trouser coughs All blasted at once through that hole where we flush Exploding as one in a great smelly rush And powered us forward, up out of the dive And set us on course, and kept us alive. This tale has a moral; I'll tell it to you: Always deposit your gas in the loo Not only does it keep the smell locked away It also might be a life-saver, some day.
