The Copilot !

I am the copilot. I sit on the right

Its's up to me to be quick and bright;

I never talk back to remember what the Captain forgets.

I make out of the Flight plan and study the weather,

Pull up the gear, stand by feather;

Make out the mail forms and do the reporting,

And fly the old crate while the Captain is courting.

I take the reading, Adjust the power,

Put on the heaters when we're in the shower;

Tell him where we are on the darkest night,

And do all the book-work without any light.

I call for my Captain and buy him cokes,

I always laugh at his corny jokes;

And once in while when his landings are rusty,

I always come through with "By god  it's gusty !"

All in all I'm  a general stooge,

As I sit on the right of the man called "scrooge";

I guess you think that is past understanding,

But maybe someday he will give me a landing.
