Seaplane!
Music and Lyrics copyright © 2017 by Prof. H. Paul Shuch
Seaplane!
The term evokes a vision of unparalleled precision
In the nitty-gritty, minding-of-the-store.
I doubt that I'm a pilot anymore.Seaplane!
Vocabulary too for what you see, and feel, and do:
Like Water Rudder, On the Step, and Winch.
If this is aviation, I'm a finch!Seaplane!
It's diving me insane that in the air it's just a plane.
On the water they fly very much like boats,
A challenge when I try to master floats.Seaplane!
The walkaround inspection can incite an insurrection.
What we need here is a different set of tools.
It's not so tricky once you learn the rules.Seaplane!
It's an airplane, it's a boat. You learn to fly, you learn to float.
The result is a mobility unmatched
Since pelicans and seagulls first were hatched.
Seaplane!
Apparition in the night, the very pinnacle of flight.
And if God had not intended Man to fly,
Would He have given floats to you and I?
