The Oddity

It’s perfectly good!”, I complain
“No matter, you’re out of this plane”
The pilot said, making it plain
I jumped to avoid being slain

The mountains were covered in snow
It softened the landing, I know
The avalanche dragged me in tow
No worries, I went with the flow

I should have packed some of that ice
It sure would have been cool and nice
The desert had cacti and mice
and sadly, those had to suffice

The flash flood took me by surprise
But that didn’t gather the prize
A gang of rough riders, some wise
Did try to achieve my demise

Escaping, I pondered the day
what lessons I learned, come what may
I was none the worse for the fray
but is there an easier way?

I love life, and next time, I swear
I’ll take some more time to prepare
Though later I did learn, alas
The plane never ran out of gas
