Flight

A huge aircraft before me stood,
Its colourful livery in cheerful mood.
With slender wings outstretched and straight,
It's tall, imposing, of enormous weight.

I go aboard, my baggage in tow,
To take my seat, with others in a row.
Seat-belt buckled, feet on the floor,
And soon the engines begin to roar.

Wing flaps extended, roar turns to scream,
The craft lurches forward, in the sun it gleams.
It rumbles down the runway, with increasing speed,
"Will it fly?" I wonder, my heart quickens its beat.

At last it's airborne, it rises up the sky,
Now I have a question, "How can this thing fly?"
With it's big fat body, and long slender wings,
How would anyone dare, to ride this flying thing?
