A poem for Fly Chicaga [not in actuallaty of course] But it fits.
By
Ken Murray
The Co-Pilot
I am the co-pilot I sit on the right,
Its up to me to be quick and bright.
I never talk back,for I have regrets,
But I have to remember what the Captain forgets.
I make out the flight plans and study the weather,
Pull up the gear and stand by to feather,
Check the tanks and do the reporting,
And fly the old crate while the captain is courting.
I call for my Captain and buy him cokes,
I always laugh at his corny jokes,
And once in a while when his landings are rusty,
I always come through with By gosh,its gusty.
All in all,Im a general stooge
As I sit on the right of the man I call Scrooge.
I guess you think that it is past understanding
But maybe some day he will give me a landing.
