The h2g2 Poem

Tragedy at Gonesse


The white swan fell in mortal plummet

From space-age technologic summit,

Rolls-Royce engine wild aflame

As down on Paris suburb came

With conic beak and delta wing

Titanium bird, no more to sing.

The British and the French unite

With Germans in their grief tonight:

For Europe's supersonic pride

With thirteen and a hundred died.
