There once was some lightning struck twice...

So Randy you want someone clever,
Pick a boring FlyerTalker you'd never,
OpenSkies you picked me,
And I'm still filled with glee!
But I'm ready to start this endeavor. (By the way, I'm still on the trip so my trip report is forthcoming, and may or may not be in limerick form)

4,000 plus posts I did type,
Lost my counsciouness caught in the hype,
How much time did I waste?
If no posts, there's disgrace!
Off my brow, perspiration was wiped.

I have dedication and chutzpah.
Are there words in the world rhymed with chutzpah?
I do so hate to lose,
I'm great following clues!
And I'm happy wherever God puts ya'. (There was something that rhymes! Almost...)

I'm a young FlyerTalker, two-six,
I run fast, I "throw 'bows" just for kicks,
You know I play to win,
To my mother's chagrin,
I will cheat and I'll steal and pull tricks. (Not really, it just fit the meter)

My job has more people than needed,
My days off I am easily ceded,
Time off I can get,
You know I'm your best bet,
I can race through Berlin unimpeded.

My greatest strength is adaptation;
Won't get lost at Geneva's train station.
Drop me off at a place,
All confusion erased.
Blindfolded I'll find our location.

I work really well on a team,
I'm the consummate partner supreme,
Don't really much care
To which partner I'm paired,
Cuz we'll win -- a well-oiled machine.

My camcorder skills sure aren't lacking,
I can write, I'll direct, I like acting.
You'll get quite a show
If you please let me go,
I vow I'll send other teams packing.

When it comes to these contest-type things,
I go at them full-force with no strings.
Pick me and you'll see
How glad Randy, you'll be,
When the trophy's in Colorado Springs.

GO TEAM FT!!!!

Chris

And P.S...after reading CK82's post...I'd happily volunteer to partner up, as others have written. 26-year-olds on FT must stick together.
