When the Concordes were retired I sent the following to Private Eye for their 'Poets Corner' slot:
So, farewell then, Concorde
Supersonic Wonderjet
‘Arrive before you depart’
That was your slogan
If only you could depart in 2003
And arrive thirty years earlier
Then you could start
All over again
E J Thrubbshaw (17½)
The 'standard' poet for the 'So, farewell then . . . ' format was 'E J Thribb'. Since Brian Trubshaw was one of the Concorde test pilots I thought a mod would be appropriate.
My submission didn't make it into print - they chose a different version.
