So sorry to see you go, my sweet hunk of junk!

It was around this time I realized I forgot my trunk.

As I was flying my private plane I heard a sudden rip
The left-side wing had been torn askew, the plane began to dip
My life flashes past as the wind fuels the fire
All the high and and low moments of my life entire
No future now is offered by the earth spread out below
Only a long descent that was not gonna be slow
"It's time to hit the silk" was my next thought
But then came a lesson I was once taught
About the time to jump and the time to ditch
All the while bearing in mind gravity is a b*ch
But with time running out, the choice had to be made
Do I still intend to live or choose eternal shade?
I open the plane door and with a breath I leap
Just before the AN-2 began to dive too steep
So sorry to see you go, my sweet hunk of junk!
It was around that time that I realised I forgot my trunk
With all the maps and charts of where the Wanderer now lay
"Life is all we are. Life is what defines us. In the end, Life is the answer."
