Where else but here

Where else but here

How far to go to be near

The evidence is awkward and queer

Though this is where I am my dear


The eight-seater is taking off

Snouts are already in the trough

Nobody’s tested but one has got a cough

It’s not champagne but it does have a froth


Where else but there

The runway to anywhere

A time that is all but exactingly square

Set out early, wear layer upon layer


Edging down the final straight

Fingers crossed we won’t be late

We did not pack, but signed in as freight

All together now: take care of the After-Eight
