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
