225 @ 3:

Today begins my journey, I bid my friends goodbye
How sullen is my mother’s mood, she thinks I’m gonna die 
Inside my room I have a globe, a line stretched right across 
With little pins I’ve marked my track. Around the world. At all costs. 

I check the forecast and reflect, on how lucky that I am 
The sky is clear, the wind is calm, my mother needn’t her Diazepam 
And so the mighty engine roars, my wings bring me aloft
So smooth, like silk, yet in the sky. I pray all my journey remain so soft. 

Two two five at three. Two two five at three. 
The gods have granted unto me, two two five at three.

A day or two of pale blue skies, of total bliss in flight 
Yet now the weather begins to turn, with ferocity and might 
That air mass from the frosted south, it chills me to bone 
The skies begin to darken and I suddenly feel alone 

And yet...

I clutch my yoke with a heavy hand, I anticipate a blow 
But this time I do not expect, the way the air will flow 
Two two five at three. 2 2 5 at 3. No matter what the forecast said, it’s 2 2 5 at 3. 
The gods have granted unto me, 2 2 5 at 3.

Half a world away from home, I haven’t had a hitch 
But what I see this fateful day goads me to try to ditch
No sight of land and yet ahead the clouds begin to twirl 
A typhoon? Or a hurricane? No matter, I feel the urge to hurl. 

I can’t go back, I haven’t fuel, and so I press ahead.
A turning swirling swell of greenish grey. I should have stayed in bed.
Two two five at three. 2 2 5 at 3. I then remark upon the oddity, of 2 2 5 at 3. 
It seems indeed that I’ve been blessed, with 2 2 5 at 3. 

Those little pins upon my globe are now places I have been. 
I’ve flown my plane around the world, such splendours I have seen! 
I tell my friends glorious tales of tempests, winds and rain.
To a ruin a good story, now that would be the shame. 

Two two five at three. 2 2 5 at 3. Your secret stays safe with me.

I love this.   This is the attitude more folks need to have... accept some of the failings for now and have fun in spite of them. Even if it's all 225@3 there's a whole world in there for you.
