Air Traffic Patrol

 

A gang of Hornet Speeders

Burning up the airways

Buzzed the Air Traffic Patrol

Furiously, the radar blips away

 

Officer Lady Bug Miller

Startled by the radar

Zeroed in on the Hornet Speeders

She’s in pursuit of air jaguars

 

She caught up to them

Stopped them dead in their tracks

 “Follow me to the station”

The Hornet Speeders chance to attack

 

Officer Miller leads her captives

Instigating their assault

She cranks up her speed

Giving chase, they can’t halt

 

Each Hornet Speeder

Goes down in pain

Until the last one

Their gang all maimed

 

They limp along

At less than posted air speed

Lessons learned

Airspeed limits to heed

 

And Officer Lady Bug Miller

Back in speed trap mode

As she monitors

The Air Traffic Police radio
