Step into the blue

Missing image
Get off my plane
You can choose to leave by the exits situated
Here, here and here
Step out, into the blue
Uninvited you made your way here
Upset my day
Now it’s your turn to take a dive
It’s the only way
Step out into the blue
You know it’s the right thing to do
Freefall into nothing
Repent your soul as you race across the sky
Take your chance
Step out into the blue
Stay and you will surely die
For I will shoot you
God help me so; I will
I’m giving you a sporting chance
It’s more than you gave the rest 
You’re out of cards
The odds are stacked against you
It's in God we trust
And now it's time for you to find out!
This is your President speaking
I’m ordering you; you sonofabitch……..

NOW! Step into the blue.




Author notes

It was a choice; Harrison or Clint! I'd like to think Harrison would deliver my lines with a bit more panache than Clint. A competition prompt: 2) "Get off my plane!" ~The President (played by Harrison Ford) in "Airforce One"~

    I think this is funny, in the use of the plane exits line and the Presidential Americanisms. Good write

    I like that you picked Harrison Ford to deliver your lines

    I also like how you took the line "step into the blue" and used it throughout the poem, it pulls it all together nicely.

    Good Work.

    Great

    I love Harrison Ford but didn't see that movie, it sure sounds like something he would say from Clear and Present Danger.

    I didn't see the movie, but I could imagine Harrison Ford saying this, too.
