Paper Airplanes

Paper Airplanes

 

Each was a piece of paper

Of regular size and with lines

We folded them here and there

And found that they could glide

 

There were none with engines

But we gave them good thrust

Though the flight often ended

With the nose slightly crushed

 

Rather than salvage them

It was thought better to use

A completely different plane

One new and improved

 

We frequently competed with them

To see which plane flew farther

And found the winning one

Thrown easily not harder

 

There were some occasions

Our planes were confiscated

They’re a distraction from schoolwork

Our teacher had sternly stated
