A Drunk Pilot Whispers in the Wind
My head spins round and round on high
As I command this drunken flight
But once, long ago, I too would sigh
At rainbows in the sky’s delight
Yet now I am a pilot, inebriated
No longer just a dreaming youth
My life is filled with joys that are debated
As I soar through the clouds, uncouth
But even as I stumble through the air
I cannot help but feel a sense of cheer
For though I am a man now, impaired
The child in me is still very near
So let me fly, despite my state
For in this moment, I am free
And when I grow old, let me relate
The tales of my wild youth, with glee
Drunk Pilot.

Drunk Pilot’s Monkey Friend
“I, a highly evolved monkey, have the pleasure of joining the pilot on more than one of his wild flights. Despite his inebriated state, he soars through the clouds with grace and a sense of childlike wonder. I was thoroughly entertained by his tales of youth and freedom, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of cheer as I swung from the cockpit’s rafters. The drunk pilot is a skilled and humorous pilot and provides a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend a ride with this talented individual. The drunk pilot’s antics kept me on the edge of my seat as he expertly navigated through the air. His laughter filled the cockpit and I couldn’t help but join in. The freedom and joy that the pilot exuded was contagious and I was grateful to have the opportunity to fly with him. I will never forget the wild ride with the drunk pilot and would eagerly hop on another flight with him in a heartbeat.”
