Two youngsters with heart had a great vision
Of taking to flight there latest ambition
They borrowed tools from their Fathers Shed
And worked from the idea's in their Heads
They knocked and screwed timber together
Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather
Never mind the time what ever the weather
The Engineers worked hard and hours so long
While mother joined in with the Radio on
After days of prolonged and heavy toil
Covered in cake and Carster oil
The job they started finally done
They were joyous and had great fun
"Lets try it out"!! the younger one said
A shout from Mother " Its time for bed"!
They knocked and screwed timber together
Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather
Never mind the time what ever the weather
Oh well we can try its flight tomorrow
Maybe success or crash with sorrow
Lets try it then the elder agreed
Oh yes please above the Trees!
They dressed in Goggles, Boots and hats
and home made parachutes on their backs
A maiden flight in The Flying Machine
Standing proud outside on the green
They sat back to back in the new creation
An accident just waiting to happen
The two sped off and picking up speed
Crashed and burned scraping Knees
They knocked and screwed timber together
Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather
Never mind the time what ever the weather
They were not done and promised to try
Another attempt to reach the sky
Come into the Shed My lads if you please
I have something to show you "Put you at ease"
Inside the shed and shining so bright
A 2 seater piper microlight
Its very own propeller and tail light
They settled into the cockpit seats
Thumbs up ready with a bag of treats
They turned the key the engine roared
And then with peddles started to soar
Along the path and over the wood
Amazing Fantastic oh so good
They played all day just the two
enjoying each flight like pilots do
They knocked and screwed timber together
Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather
Never mind the time what ever the weather
As dusk settled in with weary heads
They locked up the plane and headed for bed
With Paper and pen they would start again
A new adventure and plan begins.
Two youngsters with heart had a great vision
Of taking to flight there latest ambition
They borrowed tools from their Fathers Shed
And worked from the idea's in their Heads
