Eunice logged a hundred hours |
|
In a British Sopwith Camel |
|
Flew above the Eifel Tower |
|
Landed in a runway made of gravel |
|
|
|
Side by side mounted Vickers |
|
In the Sopwith’s thin skinned cowl |
|
She flew wearing bunny slippers |
|
And an olive drab cotton towel |
|
|
|
Five Fokkers and a couple Junkers |
|
Were proud notches in her guns |
|
Strafing runs on enemy truckers |
|
Just for the sake of fun |
|
|
|
When the Sopwith war was done |
|
Eunice Barnstormed for a year |
|
Flying stunts under the summer sun |
|
Quaffing lukewarm dark malt beer |
|
