(Apologies to His Lordship … and inspired by His Hackship Ted Cruz, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, who recently characterized Boeing’s series of deadly crashes as “past missteps.”)

So I’ll fly no more on Boeing
So high into the sky,
Though the fares be e’er so tempting —
For I just don’t wish to die.

For the engineering’s sketchy
And the workmanship is trash.
And the planes they sometimes wobble —
Then they tilt, and plunge, and crash.

Though the sky was made for soaring,
Like a hawk that circles high.
Yet I’ll no more board a Boeing —
For I’m not so keen to die.
