Looks like there’ll be no Waves again
so I'll be waiting for the seaplane
to gently alight amongst the bustle
of all the traffic in the Russell
but these modern day aquatic Stukas
won't suit the travelling pukers
from check-in on the shore
what a journey to the aircraft door!
lifejackets on, a safety briefing
I'd suggest some waterproof clothing
for the climb from a bobbing dinghy
tied up to the wobbling wingy
then with floats full of excess baggage
forming a leaden undercarriage
it'll plough halfway down to Jersey
the passengers screaming for mercy
eventually it will fly and land
and drive up onto the sand
where St Helier is in easy reach
the other end of the 5-mile beach!
