My plane was just about to crash.
So, I grabbed my bad and
Took out my big blue parachute
to glide me down and land.

But there was a big breeze.
And so, I had to painfully
land on these sharp pine trees.
I was then filled with bruises as
a pine fell on my ear.
I sat down on the ground to rest.
A thorn then poked me.
I slept on the ground frantically.

appearing like a fool.
And after the whole thing I thought
I’d rather go to school.
