Go Jump!
Into Fall
Go Jump!
Into Fall!
Lordy Lordy twice
Forty plus quarter twenty
Went jumping airborne
In the air you glide winging
Hovering ear to ear smiles
All Brods idol as ever
Tau Alphan grit you’re awesome
A beautiful flying soul
Poised unperturbed can do calm
Celebrate with gusto zeal
Albatross moment in life
You surf the summery wind
The cusp of September breeze
A birthday to remember
Your time to relish to tell

Poem inspired by and dedicated to a Tau Alphan Brod Toots Lucero’55 who celebrated his 85th birthday tandem gliding in Oceanside, California.

3aNice tribute to Toots '55 Brod. As I said, jumping out of planes is in my bucket. But my bucket is so deep and it is in the bottom. LOL

3aI was so enthralled by it that I wish I can do it. But hearing from him the nausea he experienced made me think twice. My vertigo is stratospheric. At the slightest waving motion I feel throwing up and dizzy. Wonder if free floating on air has the same “nauseating” effect as floating on ocean waves (boat ride).

3aI'll probably spend my 85th birthday either writing or watching the TV. Congrats to him, the brave one.
