The sun challenger



He designed a plane.
Then he built and flew his plane.
But was he content?
No. Not yet. Not he.

So he designed a bigger plane.
He built and flew that plane.
But was he content?
No. Not yet. Not he.

So he designed a faster plane.
He built and flew that plane.
But was he content?
No. Not yet. Not he.

He designed a jet
to fly fast and high and free
And he followed Icarus
into the Aegean Sea.
