The Bolt from (and in) the Blue!
The event that in the air blew,
Its well deserved boo it drew.
It was too much for one to chew,
It gave neither a clue nor a cue.
The respect one had for the crew,
Disappeared like the morning dew.
People not shocked were but few,
As they watched the trouble brew.
The only simile was an oak to hew,
And let it fall on the ground askew.
It was the time to mew and woo,
To find one willing volunteer true.
Not to pick a random name new,
And decide unilaterally to spew.
Tension inside the aircraft grew!
Were all the people fixed by glue?
The drama was enacted in full view,
There were deep sighs and whew!
The sad drama was finally through,
As out a man they managed to throw!
It brought tears to see the behavior of zoo;
To a watch with horror the way they strew!
As if he were but an old and torn shoe;
Or just a long and rust-crusted screw!
It will be excellent for the man to sue
And put in the right place the shrew.
