AN ENTHUSIAST'S PSALM
Aircraft spotting is my hobby, I shall not be bored.
It maketh me do research on far places.
It causeth me to correspond with odd people.
It keepeth me alert.
It leadeth me into areas of researching for curiosity's sake.
I will fear no boredom, for my registers are with me,
Their beauty and diversity they intrigue me,
They provideth me a means of escaping from the tensions of my responsibilities.
They filleth my house with books.
My cash runneth lower.
Surely interest and knowledge shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I will be listed in the ranks of the Enthusiasts for ever.
Came across this in a 1980 MAS local members 'EGGP' magazine. Credited (as a Philatelist's Psalm) to Erna V. Berkley, words adapted by the unofficial Banks Road Aviation Society over a pint (or two). Oh, and apologies to David!
