Nancy on the Notty led me to your tale
The boat met its end sinister
When I learned that she was grounded and burned
Ironic stories similar
From DFW to YYZ the weather Cav-Ok
Flight 797 was cleared for takeoff
There was no delay
The plane was only partially full
Including the cabin crew
Stan found his seat and he got some sleep
Exhausted from Kerrville festival
Somewhere over Kentucky
There was an unknown incident
Stan was a victim of bad luck and a random coincidence
The first red flag at the back of the plane
Flight Crew investigate
A funny smell in the blue room
Would determine the planes fate
Stan didn't really notice, he was focused intently
He was too busy writing songs about the true north strong and free!
The oxygen would feed the flame!
Did Sergio know when he opened the door
That the oxygen would feed the flame?
Flight crew, standard procedure and evacuate
I can only imagine what they felt and saw
Of course I can only speculate
A blinding light through acrid smoke
Then there is hope
Followed by a fireball
Asphyxiate!
Stan and the other 22 aboard
Didn't get to have much fun
No cruising the sea to find American gold and fire no guns,
When you get on a boat or plane there can be no guarantee
In the end, Stan you said it best, God damn them all indeed
