In-Flight Maintenance

Poem Artwork


The reason I don’t fly,


Well, for one it is way too high,


Also though they do maintain,


At an altitude fit only for the insane…


Okay, so I am scared as well,


But when them planes hit the ground,


They are going so fast, I would go straight to hell,


Nothing would therein be left of me but a handful of gel…


So instead I will drive,


And whether or not I arrive,


Any ensuing accident might be easier to avoid,


Perhaps with this problem I should see a shrink,


Someone who is familiar I suppose with Sigmund Freud…?

Wonderful Honest poem. I'm with ya. My first flight when 12 and all alone was flying by radar through many storms the whole way there. Raggedy Ann, a nice young but older to me cute guy who gave me a really Thick comic book to read to keep me calmer. I wish I would have saved that comic book he told me I could keep at the end of That flight.

Thanks ED You are So honest and Not a coward. It is a height for the Insane but... better than crashing into the Rocky Mts and the one in Switzerland, and and and...

You've picked your theme well, Ed. This whole concept of planes you are posting gives us a different look at air transportation, some grounded and some that should be. Freud placed the greatest emphasis on resistances. I place them on phobias and flight from. Best do your flying on the ground with radio-controlled hobby airplanes. Nice write!

Oh So Scary! That was taken while in the air! A good reason not to fly!

But don't see somone that's familiar with Freud
You'll just be told all the problems stem from when you were a boy!

Great Write
