Thanks to St. Nick
and the others who post
I now have a rig
of which i can boast

I hung up my stockings
for four or five years
But finally, they're filled
and i'm grateful to tears

No stutters no blurries
as fast as a whip
It's lucky i'm flying
not sailing a ship

Wish all other simmers
look under that tree
Will find such a rig
make them happy as me

Ho Ho Ho...

High Flight by John Magee

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Happy flying with your new rig.
