A Boy and a Plane #SOL21

On Sunday, I spent a good part of my afternoon watching my son during his flying lesson.  While it allows me to hug him and chat with him for a bit,  the best part is watching my 21-year-old "little" boy do something he loves.  I said "little" because when he is at the airport he is like a little kid in a candy shop.  I decided to write a playful limerick (definitely not a strength of mine) because of the pure joy that emanates from him when he is at the airport.


There once was a boy named Cam

and flying a plane was his jam

his flight check was stellar

so he could start the propeller

and ace the pilot program


I am excited to be participating in the Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Challenge.

  4. This is super cute. I love the poem, and I also relate to how Cam's still your little boy, when he's playing with his plane or doing anything else.

  8. The limerick is a fun spin on what could be a sentimental post! It echoes the fun he must be having when he is in flight.
