I'm all forlorn and sick and tired
of fudging my Europa,
although its wheel is slick and Tyred
the rest is a no-hoper.
Now one, of Mittel-Europe name,
espousing standards Yankee,
has built a Yorkshire-English plane
but finds our 'English' cranky.
(to tune of 'My Fair Lady')
Why can't the English make an English nut and bolt,
the English make their Purdy as well as Yankee's Colt;
Kirby Moorsides' Aeroplanes are sold with English hype
but aviation hardware's - all
Yank
Type!
Except in wars our little land
can not an aircraft trade command.
We're good at words, with trade we're slow:
chaque un, I say, should have son mot.
