11,613. IT SURE SEEMED

IT SURE SEEMED
It seemed like something even
when it wasn't. Your cousin the
flight mechanic on the angel
stairway to elation. Carrying 
his nuts and bolts with him
in case lightning struck. Then
someone newer told him that
today's jet planes are more
glued together than they are
bolted. The higher technology
now is into adhesives and the
altered carbon chemistry of 
newer things. It sure seemed 
like a whopper, a whole-hog 
lie, a tall-tale to end all others. 
But what did I know? 
I never even fly.
