This is a response to a Flash Fiction prompt from ‘Putting My Feet In the Dirt’, Writing Prompts hosted by ‘M’.
Which can be found by following the link below..
Prompt ~WIDE-BOOTY BOMBSHELLS
I had to somewhat suppress my humorous urges when I saw the way this prompt was phrased as it borders on the edges of politeness.
However following M’s fascinating aircraft theme here is my researched aviation response
Airlander 10, is the largest aircraft in the world that also has a remarkable resemblance to a human behind, is ready to fly again, according to the company that built it.
In the U.K. the Airlander is affectionately known as the “flying bum.”
Here goes…
WIDE-BOOTY BOMBSHELLS
by John Yeo
Wing Commander Wolfson a man of action
Was put in command of the flying bombshell
He was aware of the danger of distraction.
~
The airship was designed to allow easy extraction
of the cargo from the capacious double rear-well
Wing Commander Wolfson was a man of action.
~
The crew could hardly suppress their elation
Discipline was essential this reaction to quell
There was always the danger of distraction.
~
Fuelling up the airship could lead to petrification
as the fumes and temperature began to gel
Wing Commander Wolfson was a man of action.
~
Flying this monster gave him great satisfaction
He loved his personal wide-booty bombshell.
Yes, he was aware of the danger of distraction.
~
A memo from the Air Ministry caused consternation
Calling it a flying bum! A harsh, sinful, label,
Wing Commander Wolfson was a man of action
He was always aware of the danger of distraction.

Nice research John! I was hoping someone would figure this one out. 😉
Yes I was sure you had an aircraft in mind especially after tackling the pregnant guppy and the earlier beluga. Well done! Lovely creative prompts. 🚀🙂
Thanks John! 😉
And here I was thinking it was a phrase from a rap song! Love how your research paid off, John. “Calling it a flying bum” indeed! 😂
Thanks Dora. I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. This was a challenging prompt. 🙂🎆
