Do Not Go Stupidly On the Next Flight


by Don Krabbe, Fox, Arkansas

Do not go stupidly on the next flight
Aircraft maintenance sucks they say
Taxi swiftly to the Greyhound site.
 
Ol' pilots know flyin' aint right
after lotsa crashes you can bet they
Do not go stupidly on the next flight
 
Aircraft mechanics rollin' down the road delight
in tellin' horror stories 'bout crashes as they
Taxi swiftly to the Greyhound site
 
Ghosts of crash victims dance at mid-night
and learned too late this lesson grey:
Do not go stupidly in the next flight
 
Smart folks with clear insight
to avoid becoming one with the clay
Taxi swiftly to the Greyhound site
 
And you, dear traveler, if you are bright
will survive, pain-free, if on this day
you do not go stupidly on the next flight
Taxi swiftly to the Greyhound site!
