Another Old Poem - With a "P.S." This Time -
The Jet Age
There once was a small speck of dust
that was caught in a jet engine's thrust.
As it flew by impellers
it yelled, "Howdy fellers -
you'll like me much better than rust!"
(1974)
Here's the "P.S." for you -
Run-A-Way
To all new pilots,
learn this well -
It's out of kindness, truths I tell -
"Tarmacs are for after stopping,
terminal shops, for pre-flight shopping,
overheads, for storing gear,
and airline food is stuff to fear.
After flying - back to ground.
Be sure your landing aim is sound.
It's best to land the smarter way,
(not on a hot-tar Run-A-way.)"
(2017)

@responsiveme - Friend ARM - That "speck of dust" was truly about an aircraft jet engine incident that came about at the big airport in Portland, Maine, USA. There is never any telling what births a rhyme. -Gus-
