The Biplane Evermore, a poem by Martin Cooper
Way out in London Airport, in Hangar Number 4,
A lonely little biplane lived whose name was Evermore.
His working days were over; no more would he sail
Upon his wings above the clouds flying the Royal Mail.
Bye bye biplane
Once upon a sky plane
Bye bye
Hushabye
Lulla biplane
All the mighty jet planes would look down their nose.
They’d laugh and say, “Oh, I’m so glad that I’m not one of those!”
And Evermore would shake away the teardrops from his wings,
And dream of days when he again could do heroic things.
Bye bye biplane
Once upon a sky plane
Bye bye
Hushabye
Lulla biplane
Then one day the fog and rain had closed the airport down
And all the mighty jet planes were helpless on the ground
When a call came to the airport for a mercy flight
They could not wait - ’twould be too late - someone must fly tonight!
They rolled the little biplane out to runway number 5
And though he looked so small and weak, he knew he could survive!
And as he rose into the storm the big jets hung their wings,
And hoped some day like Evermore to do heroic things.
Bye bye biplane
Once upon a sky plane
Bye bye
Hushabye
Lulla biplane
And so, my bitty bundle, I have spun a tale for you.
You must learn there’s nothing in this world that you can’t do.
Do not be discouraged by circumstance or size:
Remember Evermore and set your sights up in the skies.
Bye bye biplane
Once upon a sky plane
Bye bye
Hushabye
Lulla biplane
when my dad was real little, like 14 or something, he heard this song on the B side of a record and decided he must learn it for to sing to his children, when he had them. he used to sing this song as a lulabye to me and my sister for years. i love it and i love how it makes me remember how much i love him :)
