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.
