The smooth pale rectangle offers lots of potential

With a series of creases it becomes three dimensional

From a single sheet an aircraft takes shape

A folded creation, a means of escape

A pair of wings and a fuselage

You’re the pilot, you’re in charge

You hold the aeroplane in your palm

The power of flight within your arm

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard

Ensure your luggage is safely stowed

Fasten your seat belts, open the blinds

Set all devices to airplane mode

For obvious reasons that we hardly need mention

Smoking on board is strictly forbidden

Air traffic control chatters away in your ear

Prepare for take off, the runway is clear

How will she fly?

Only one way to know

Take a good grip and give a strong throw…

…Thank you for flying with Airline A4

We’re currently cruising between ceiling and floor

At an altitude not exceeding six feet and four

If you’d like to purchase duty free

Or indulge in our range of tasty treats

Please make up your mind and do so fast

We don’t anticipate that this flight will last

Final descent has begun, please return to your seat

The cabin crew safety checks are quickly complete

Here comes the runway smooth as a carpet

so much for the flight it’s now time to park it

Brace positions please, there’s sure to be damage

We’re going to be landing with no under-carriage

Not an elegant touch-down, more like a fall

But so much better than crashing into the wall

We hope that you all enjoyed your origami flight

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon

Perhaps tomorrow, in the afternoon

Providing, of course, there’s no rain in the night
