A few aviation related haiku-style poems:

Odor of avgas
Sound of planes roaring to life
I love the airport

Pushing the starter
The propeller springs to life
Soon I'll be airborne

Gunning the throttle
Runway lights are zipping by
The earth falls away

Instrument basics
Time, tune, turn, throttle, and talk
Save your life they will

Scanning instruments
MDA is growing near
Hope I pop out soon

GUMPS checklist complete
ATC says, "Cleared to land"
Round-out, flare, touchdown!

I hope I'm a better pilot than I am a poet. But I'll admit I did have
fun writing these...

Fuel prices rising
my budget shrinking
walking is the best option

Cleared for takeoff
Clear blue skies
Fine day

Just had a ramp check
FAA nazis are here
Now I'll ride my bike

*Hey* That was fun!

Bertie the Bunyip
Has a hard-on for MX
He just can't calm down

The Bunyip makes howls
"You don't fly you fu- jukk- wit"
Sims are not flying

MX has a life
a dim room with his PC
second life comes first

I waste time on rap
reading poo that people write
I am feeling lame

I must go home now
to eat a cow for dinner
I might roast it first

wheee this is fun
