Classic Poem

Azzoomm, azzoomm loud and strong —
Azzoomm, azzoomm a steady song —
And UP I went
UP and UP
For a ride
In an airplane.

The machinery roarrrred
And whirrred
And jiggled my ears
Yet I
Just sat right
On a chair
Inside that airplane
And made myself
Stare
Out of a window.

There
Way down below
I saw autos
Scuttling along.
They looked to me
Like fast little lady bugs —
So small!
And I saw houses
That seemed to be
Only as big as match boxes —
That's all!

But the strangest sight
Was when
We came to some clouds!
We stared down
Instead of up
To see them,
And they looked
Like puffs of smoke
From giant cigarettes.
