ICAO ENCOMPASSETH ME
(First published in “Centreline” 1966)
(Air – “Cwm Rhondda”
– Molto Lugubrioso.)
1.) Shalt I fly to Hell-fire and Damnation?
On the Devil’s own
I.T.?
On a Diabolic
Constellation?
Or a DC7C?
No, IATA
Not a Charter
Takes me to Eternity!
I shall put my Trust
in Thee!
2.) I shall surely thunder up to Heaven
I shall reach that
Pearly Gate.
On IATA’s Boeing 707
Or his Holy DC8.
Destination -
Sure Salvation!
To that Kingdom up on
high …
With IATA shalt I
fly!
