                        Thank you for the loan of ARW
                             A free roaming spirit
                           No imprisoned bird yet.
                             No need for Boeing
                                Or DC 10 –
                             Melbourne, Veddw,
                              Delhi or Madras –
                       As free as a bird his spirit will soar,
                           No need for piston or jet.
                                 A joy to see
                              That spirit so free.











                                                                                              They tell me he’s as free in the fire of the East,
                                                                                              The third element, too, he has encompassed.
                                                                                              So thank you again for the loan of the child,
                                                                                               And the fondest memories he’s left behind.

                                                                                                        The house still rings
                                                                                                     With the sound of the wings
                                                                                                      Of that spirit flying free.
