Does anybody out there have the Taildraggers Poem handy? I have it in
print form, but can't get my #&^%$#(at)!**&~ OCR to work so I can
send it out to a new taildragger student. I'm sure he would love to
read this poem, so if anybody can post it, I'd appreciate it.
If not, I'll have to get my neighbor to scan my copy and post it.
Thanks....

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> 7/15/1999 - Taildragger poem, Author unknown.
This poem was copied off the wall from an old airport at East Moline,
Illinois.
TAILDRAGGER
Taildragger, I hate your guts,
I have the license , ratings and such
But to make you go straight is driving me nuts.
With hours of teaching and the controls in my clutch
It takes a little rudder, easy, thats too much.
You see, I learned to fly in a tricycle gear
with one up front and two in the rear.
She was sleek and clean and easy to steer
But this miserable thing with tires and struts
Takes a little rudder, easy, thats too much.
It demands your attention on the take-off roll
Or itll head towards Joness as you pour on the coal.
Gotta hang loose, dont over control.
This wicked little plane is just too much
With a lot of zigzagging and words obscene
I think Ive mastered this slippery machine.
Its not that bad if you have the touch
Just a little rudder, easy, thats too much.
I relax for a second and from the corner of my eye,
I suddenly realize with a gasp and a cry
Thats my own tail thats going by.
You ground looping wreck; I hate your guts,
Give a little rudder, Great Scott, THATS TOO MUCH.
