Matilda shows me how to push start the flight …
Matilda takes me through the process of gliding into the sky … he made it look easy!!

In my poem below, Matilda and I are “expecting” to see the full moon tonight.
Flying High in the Full Moon Sky
During our walkies, this morning
I enjoyed a friendly chat
With Matilda the Magpie
“Good morning, Matilda
as you know, later today
the full moon is going to be on show
and I was wondering
could I come and fly with you?
for a clear aerial view”
“You are more than welcome Ivor
however, when was the last time you went flying?”
“Five years ago, my friend
when I flew to Philadelphia”
“Oh, you will be a bit rusty
and now you are a 72-year-old
so best we have a practice run”
“Good idea, Matilda
I suppose it is like riding a bike
my wings will automatically remember
how to give me a push start
and then my gliding skills will return”
I am pleased to say
The training session went well
Matilda and I
Will be flying high
Side by side
In tonight’s full moon sky
