FLY AGAIN FLY

(KITTYHAWK, NC 12/17/03)

The Chief, a star and other big wigs came to town

To witness the reenactment of the First Flight from the ground

At 10:30 this morning, it can't be done

Weather is not cooperating to the plan

Everybody went to lunch with a big hope

To see this big bird get off the slope

At 12:30 with enthusiasm, they ready to go

Even the wind is not giving enough blow

With strength of the hand, they crank the propeller

To the cheers of the crowd, it sound like thunder

Drowning the small engine's puff, puff

Everything is check even pilot's ear muff

The craft started to taxi to its launching pad

Too slow, too unstable, it got stuck in mud

Undeterred, they'd tried again

Only to be aborted because of the wind
