Ode to the Cadets-- By an Avro Instructor

Ode to the Cadets-- By an Avro Instructor
Thou still untutored pilot of brave ships
Thou wean-child of the battle's deadly roar!
As yet unlearned in zooms, vrille turns and dips
and those sad hours which must go before
Of pain and travail at your mentors hands,
What those of us who linger still behind
Are praying what just Gods there be on high
For travel orders? Cease your wild Desire
And throw ambition to the howling wind.
