A Pilot Needed in the Cockpit

 

By Elton Camp

 

In movies, pilot and copilot conk out

But always, a half-way pilot is about

But not for many years has he flown

Perhaps in the air force he was shown

 

Or maybe he was the cause of a crash

And thinks as a pilot he is just trash

He’ll protest his incompetence a while

But lands the plane when under trial

 

But if that situation should really arise,

Would such a person be in the skies?

If not, then whatever would they do

Since trained folks are actually few?

 

Instead of ending safely on the ground,

It’s most likely none would stay around

The plane would probably go into a dive

Not a single person would remain alive
