suggests 'FEAR OF FLYING.'
PHLYING PHOBIA
Why shouldn't I be afraid! Anxiety isn't treason!
I'm terrified of flight and with a very good reason!
I don't believe in planes! I can't believe they're real!
How can something so heavy, made of iron and steel,
Full of of paunchy people, themselves all over-weight,
Plus animals and who-knows-what travelling as freight
Get off the ground in the first place and hover in the sky?
It's beyond my comprehension! I know I'm sure to die.
I'll be sitting in my little seat, up there in the clouds,
Conscious of other passengers, overwhelming crowds,
When suddenly it comes over me.... 'This is quite unreal!'
(And it's my misfortune NOT to have nerves of steel!)
'I'm doing something impossible! Why shouldn't I feel alarmed?
How can I reach earth again and end this flight unharmed?
Surely that was a little cough in the engine to my right!
Every little pocket of air makes me shrink with fright!
This is my final moment! There are arm-rests I must clutch!
Aeroplanes just can't exist!
They simply weigh too much!'
