Ode to Aviation

The Bottom Line Why don't you just read the review? Oh, too lazy, eh? Well, so am I...

Airplanes, large or small,
Jet powered or propeller-driven,
Biplane or monoplane,
Military or commercial,
I love them all.

Who doesn’t get a thrill
From the smell of diesel fuel?
As the plane roars to life
And starts down the turnpike,
It’s engine noisy and dirty,
It seems to say, “Take a hike”.

When it soars off the ground,
There’s a sensation all around.
Few things can beat
Going higher than your feet.
Looking out from the canopy
Is like seeing the world in a laboratory.
People, places and things appear micro size,
While up above is a glorious sunrise.

Airplanes, large or small,
Jet powered or propeller-driven,
Biplane or monoplane,
Military or commercial,
I love them all.
