Humorously-vital couplets about Aeronautics

The author is Leonid Tyukhtyaev, head of the project "Russian factory of Records", master of sports and multiple national record holder in aeronautical sports on balloons and airships "Argus" and "Merciless", Chairman of the Board of Directors of SB Bank, author of the book "Zoki and Bada".

It all started three years ago with a flashmob in LJ, where suddenly the near-air navigation community, inspired by Stanislav Fedorov, was captured by an obviously incredible poetic activity on the theme of the rhyme "I saw a raccoon and a hedgehog from the gondola of the airship, BL*" (lines by the poet Lukomnikov).

Other animals, such as walruses, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs were also used to rhyme. Since the subject of the airship is close to me not only from a linguistic point of view, but also as a test pilot, I was heartily involved in this flashmob. As the process progressed, those who believed that "there are any number of such rhymes" subsided. Usually there are 7-10 of them on the go. Well, 20. At the thirtieth rhyme, the human imagination comes to a logical dead end, and only theory predicts that there are a few more rhymes lying around somewhere. However, the versifiers of the old formation do not think with a new logic, but go to the end.

Here are a HUNDRED rhymes that reveal the theme of the airship in all its beauty and completeness, with all possible bouquets and aftertaste. The most heartfelt of these lines were born during friendly evenings over a glass of red wine in the caudal club.
