Glider Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of rope a few feet from "The Road". 
I whip the Schweitzer 'round so fast it exceeds the max'mum load.
I've slipped, I've stalled, I've spiral dived, Spun past the sixth full turn.
"You can't do that!" the new ones say, They've got a lot to learn.
I find a thermal, turn in it to try and gain some height.
But I must beat the towplane down or this is my last flight!
On 2-3 fly a crooked base then crank the plane around. Or 2-9: pass the hangers then I dive straight for the ground!
But the best is 3-6 final when I know I should be higher,
Put out my hand and touch the passing telephone wire!
