Each morning I get up at four
with a smile upon my face.
Into the coffee cup I pour
a brew to set the pace.

Hit the road doing sixty-five
if I don't, I will be late.
At the terminal I arrive
and scurry to my gate.

There's my crew all sharp and snappy.
I say 'good morning' and we're all happy.

On board I greet our drowsy guests
assuring them we'll do our best.
A cute one smiles and says 'Fly Good'
I smile back cause I'm sportin wood.

Into the cockpit and all is well
till my FO cuts one and it starts to smell.
He thinks it's funny, but I see no folly.
So I lift a cheek and return the volley.

And so the pace of our day is set.
I'm Regional Pilot and flying a jet.
I flirt with the stew as best I can,
only to learn she was once a man.

Back in the air and three cokes later,
I give the controls to my mass debater.
Head to the lav only to find,
my fear of animals, the microscopic kind.

I assure myself and try to be calm,
'It's a teepee for you to peepee,
not a wigwam to beat your tomtom'

All is quite back on the deck
cause the FO's asleep,
oh what the heck!

I reach for the plate to begin the approach,
only to find a big cock-a-roach.
To alot of folks this would seem scarey,
But the regionals are lonely, so I'll call him 'Harry'.

That was so good a tear shot out my eye on my flat screen when I laughed. Here's to more aviation poetry!
 
Funny, was that you that had the "typical day" post a while back with the schorn balls? That was funny too.

I remember that one, but don't know what "schorn" is....sounds painful.
Thanks guys, I surely owe everyone here for making me laugh over the years.

Thank you, Thank you. I will share that one with many at work this weekend!

How about a tome on "Crew Planning-A pilot's revenge"?
 
Great Job Man! Very funny.
 
Two years later.....ands its still funny
 
How about this one....

Ode to a commuter dog (from Ratman and Fingers 1987)

My Ex-wife was a Hooters babe with big nobby boobs
Now she Captains 777s with Cathode Ray Tubes

I'm still driving this propjet that makes lots of noise
But can still can drink beer with the rest of the boys

But now I have to tutor junior on how to fly
He thinks he is a better pilot than I

I abuse him daily and critique his flight
as his cockiness creates a plight

I tell this young lad that I come from the old school
In those days Captains word was the rule

But as the plane catches fire and he panics
I take control as I have had enough of his antics

I bring the plane into land and what do I see?
My ex-wifes heavy jet about to land beside me

She taunts me daily with her call sign of me as loser
Now you know why I have become such a boozer
 
I don't remember where I saw this but I kept it.



A feeder pilot shall not drink.
If he do drink, he shall not get drunk.
If he do get drunk, he shall not stumble.
If he do stumble, he shall not fall down.
If he do fall down, he shall get up.
If he cannot get up, he shall hide all insignia and identification, so as to be thought to be a mainline pilot.
 
I can't believe someone dug this out of the flightinfo. catacombs! I'd lost it and wanted to make a copy....now I can. Thanks!
