Geronimo Goes Flying.

One afternoon Geronimo,

Was standing in a field,

When suddenly the rain came down,

“It’s just not fair!” he squealed.

“My fur’s already muddy,

After being in a scrum,

It never, ever crossed my mind,

That there was worse to come!”

“The others do not realise,

How fortunate they are,

It’s at dreadful times like this one,

I wish Jane had a car.

But as she cannot drive one,

I’d better find some shelter,

I’ve got a funny feeling,

That this storm will be a belter!”

He raced towards the nearest bush,

And sat down on the ground,

But after just a little while,

He heard a whirring sound.

Our Furry Chum was startled,

And shouted “My oh my,

That sounds just like a UFO,

I think the end is neigh!”

But when he looked above his head,

He squealed in sheer delight,

“A magic helicopter,

Oh what a lovely sight!”

He stood up very quickly,

Then raised a furry paw,

And shouted; “Will you rescue me?

I’m shaking to the core!”

“This rainstorm makes it really hard,

To walk home single handed,

And  I’ve come to the conclusion,

That it’s no fun being stranded.

My team mates have all left me,

And they’re in the warm and dry,

If someone doesn’t help me soon,

I reckon I may die!”

For a second nothing happened,

And Bear sighed" Goodness me,

I'll be stuck out here forever,

As far as I can see.

I was very, very foolish,

To think things were in hand"

But then, the helicopter,

Came safely down to land.

In the twinkling of an eyelid,

A man came up to him,

And smiled "I've come to take you home,

So please stop looking grim!"

Geronimo looked up at him,

And grinned from ear to ear,<+span>

"Oh thank you very much," he said,

"I'd love to disappear.

"Hop in then," smiled his new found friend,

"I'm Darren by the way,

I knew those flying lessons,

Would be of use one day!"

"You're spot on there!" laughed Teddy,

As he sat down in his seat,

"I'm such a lucky fellow,

What an unexpected treat!"

"Oh that's all right," beamed Darren,

"Flying is no end of fun,

And I'm certain that this journey,

Will be a perfect one!"

He started off the engine,

Which gave a mighty roar,

Soon they were flying higher,

Than they'd ever done before.

Our Hero squealed excitedly,

"The houses look like toys,

No wonder you like flying,

It's full of hidden joy's!"

The pilot giggled loudly,

And smiled "I told you so,

"Oh look," he gasped, "The fluffy clouds,

Are putting on a show!"

"I know," replied Geronimo,

"I'm counting every one,

And way out in the distance,

I've seen the setting sun!"

The happy flight continued,

But then he gave a squeal,

"Oh that's my house!" he shouted,

"All this seems quite unreal!"

"Just hold on tight!" smiled Darren,

"As we're coming into land,"

Soon they touched down in the garden,

Exactly as he planned.

When she realised what was happening,

Friend Jane came running out,

"Good gracious me!" she bellowed,

"What is this all about!"

"Don't panic" Bear assured her,

As he stepped out of the plane,

"I've had the most amazing flight,

So I'm as right as rain!

There was a dreadful cloud burst,

But Darren rescued me,

And we've been flying through the air,

As happy as can be!"

"The journey was fantastic,

And had me tickled pink,

So why don't we invite him in,

To have a nice hot drink!"

"Of course," replied the little girl,

"Do come in straight away,

What an unexpected ending,

To a very normal day!"

THE END.
