WATERY WEDNESDAY
ADVENTURE
They tell me the view is fantastic,
Though it isn't my nature to boast,
But between my home-town and Sydney
Lies some truly spectacular coast.
They say you can see every feature
As the plane doesn't fly very high.
You can even see grounded folk waving
As the sea-plane goes bustling by.
And one day I'll take this short journey
And fly above, giving a wave,
But first I must pluck-up the courage!
I fear that I'm not very brave!

TAKING A BREATHER
Bugsy went to Confession, the first time in twenty years!
He thought he might drop dead one day so he went to allay his fears.
The Priest asked a gentle question 'Have you slept with a woman? he said,
Bugsy replied 'No, Father!' but his face went rather red!
'I'll ask you again! Mind what you say!' the Priest spoke sternly now,
'Have you ever slept with a woman?' . Sweat broke out on Bugsy's brow.
'No, never, never, Father!' Bugsy was quite emphatic.
The Father's brow grew clouded and the atmosphere dramatic.
Now he roared with religious zeal 'I ask you once again;
Have you slept with a woman? I know the ways of men.'
By now poor Bugsy was shattered, and he longed to tell the truth.
He knew he'd made love to women many times since his youth!
'I've never actually slept' he said 'If you know what I mean.
But I have sometimes dozed off a bit....
You know......in between!'

Both poems delightful, both made me smile. :)
By the way you'd probably really enjoy a flight over the coast. Hope you can get up the courage!
is it taking off or it has just landed? i'm afraid to take small planes :(
Wow! Not for a million I would fly in one ;-) A lovely post though.
I love looking at seaplanes and I love the concept but I'm no so in love that I'll ride in one.
I love your "taking a breather" yarn.
