Prompt from ThatSassyCaptain: On this day in 1903 The Wright brothers made the first sustained motorized aircraft flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Give Holmes (of any year) a flying adventure
A Drabble
Airworthy
Holmes steeled his nerves, looked out, around him;
Stomach nearly back in place.
Clouds and sky; the world below him...
Far below. He moved to brace
Himself against the constant motion;
Most unsettling; up and down.
He saw that Watson seemed relaxed,
Addressed him with a worried frown.
"Watson, I confess, I'm puzzled;
Like me, you've never flown before;
The height, the flight has not distressed you.
Why, dear chap? Please tell me more."
The doctor grinned, then spoke, " Dear Holmes,
I take such movement in my stride;
My time with you prepared me well
For such a rollercoaster ride."
