were it not for the Internet, on this old plane  
this new ballad would hardly be writ  
with no access to Rhymezone, my verse would be plain  
though not free, it's enhancing my wit

realizing I've joined a peculiar club  
metric poetry written on high  
for a membership -- and, this is hardly a snub  
choose a meter and write while you fly

be it worthy of praise or a generous groan  
not a masterpiece -- surely you jest  
but the masterpiece writers, they've all long since gone  
of those born on a plane -- perhaps best

we are landing, and soon, leaving nothing to chance  
I shall end on this final quatrain  
oh I'm glad, oh so glad, that in this circumstance  
I did not chose to travel by train
