My Airplane

 

 

Won’t you stay and play with me?

Said the wind to the fly

I’ll keep you aloft, high and free

Close your eyes and try

To see my face, my mischievous glee.

 

I can show you my playful side

As I caress and soothe your fragile wings

I can spin you far and wide,

Relax and ignore the gently sting

Of the rain, for it too likes the ride.

 

Hailstones are a pain, I know

Just keep out of their way

They’re hardheaded and a little lowbrow

Too heavy for play,

I’m not sure why I keep them around.

 

But you, man you’re great!

I can do what I want

The downdrafts are the best with your weight

Just don’t let your eyes bug out

OK! I’ll try not to do that again.

 

Seriously, you’ve got to relax, go with the flow

I’ll introduce you to my friends

Don’t shake lightening’s hand though

Weird guy, hides a lot and then,

Pops out of nowhere; I swear he’ll give me a stroke!

 

My wife is great, a tad vain

She’s busy now, swirling around

With her cloudy skirts and perfect rain.

My in-laws are odd though

I mean, who names their daughter Hurricane?

 

I had a great time today!

How about we do this again, but at night?

Are you OK? Did I talk you to death?

You can finally meet my wife

Come on! Don’t be like that! Was it my breath?

Great job! I love how playful and fun this poem is! But in the fourth stanza
'OK! I’ll try not to do that again.' - is funny but it doesn't seem to match the rhyme scheme you started with.
