THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING

Roger A. Davis

I’ve flown on a big jet once or twice
Instead of a movie, wouldn’t a comedy skit be nice?
Lines like ‘Air Speed, Warp Drive’
‘Altitude: Higher than anyone could skydive’

‘At Denver, I took a left instead of a right
Good news, another balmy L.A. night
In the morning, the Big Apple connection flight
Bad news, you’re paying; United’s budget is too tight’

‘A bearded is man asking us to stop for a Cuban cigar
Since Miami is our next stop, it won’t be far
He has an uncle there named Fidel
Our return flight, only time will tell’

‘This is your Captain speaking; my son is seated by me
He is 16, giving him flying lessons, no instructor’s fee
No Co-Pilot but don’t worry, no solo
My heart hurts, oh no!’

‘For you who are scared of heights
We are at tree top level, hard to see any sights
But it’s dark anyway, don’t be uptight
Thank you for flying with us, God bless and good night
