Poem: [The trouble begins]

By Jack Brummet




The trouble begins,
and usually ends,

When you make an unplanned transition
From an initial flying state

To a subsequent not flying state.
Falling per se is OK.

The hitch comes the moment
Falling becomes not falling,

Or, what the pros call
The uncontrolled landing problem.

Human Wings Predicted

"Human Wings Are Predicted."  From Modern Mechanics - 1929.  A nice thought.  We're still waiting. . .
