VON TRAVENS DIRIGIBLE

Von Traven's dark dirigible
was generally derisible.
Its size was quite formidable,
but otherwise it failed.

This sinister inflatable's
condition was unrateable.
Its bouyancy - debatable
(It floundered when it hailed).

To leaks it was susceptable,
Its crew was unacceptable,
Its scanners quite deceptable -
It wasn't built for crime.

Its sections weren't divisible,
Defences - rather risible.
It rarely turned invisible,
And couldn't jump through time!

Its steering simply damnable,
Its safety record slammable.
Utterly inflammable -
It often burned to ash.

It wasn't unassailable
And thus was un-resaleable.
Better models were available
but Traven had no cash.

# cor, dirigibles
An airship, dirigible or Zeppelin is a lighter-than-air (buoyant) aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air using rudders and propellers or other thrust. Unlike other aerodynamic aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft (airplanes) and helicopters, which produce lift by moving a wing or airfoil through the air, aerostatic aircraft, such as airships and hot air balloons, stay aloft by filling a large cavity, such as a balloon, with a gas less dense than the surrounding air.

# Here, I wrote a poem for you. FUCKING HAPPY NOW?!
Old Darth Vader had a man named ash,
whose requisite was a purple sash.
He rarely left his home without,
a plastic spoon and dreadful gout.

All aboard a midnight weary,
he sat in hand with sith a cheery.
The two of they had girls to court,
to a film then siege a fort.

But for all their boast and dreadful fun,
they could not shake that naughty hun.
Hitler bode them well that night,
just one more sleep before their fright.
