Mile High

Neville

Mile High 

 

Long before

the wax began

to soften even

 

And the moult

commenced

his ivory plumage shed

 

He dreamed of flying

with her

a mile above their bed

    Icarus would surely agree that the flight with a lover feels mile high wherever it is. - - bootiful thought though above their bed.............. x.

        Yes, I got the wrong plane once. I got on the Mile High trip - and swooned! lol. I only wanted to go to the Co-op, so why did I go by plane?

            You knows I wasn't going to the Co-op really. I'm a dark horse! These lassies will be too much for me though! lol.

            On the occasions when i flew to close to the sun which lit a lovers bed I too felt the melt of wax and a tumble from high.

            She was disallusioned when i recounted this for she was of the opinion the sun shone from her arse.

              Its all about control DA ... Pink Floyd got it write when they wrote 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun' .. that or tell her ya Cliff Richards cousin or summat ... or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely ... I'm gonna say cheers regardless 🙂

                  I’d like to join the mile high club,
                  But I’ll settle for the bunk bed on top!

                  May your wings fly high
                  But never reach the sun
                  Or you’ll have to sigh
                  When you fall down on your bum

                  • Neville

                    ... Neville 🙂
