Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Wing Walker Smooth Talker For Tom Cunningham

His instructor said he must wear tights
Most essential in these sorts of flights
Fred said take them away
Folks would think I was gay
The truth is that Fred’s scared of heights


Fred fibbed that he’d been a wing walker
A falsehood, this sure was a corker 
His relations soon found
He did not leave the ground
It’s a good job he’s a fast talker!



Inspired by The Wing Walker by Tom Cunningham
