Gonna Fly Now... or Later?

Yo Adrian did you hear about this? The Prez Trump he's talkin' 'bout Qatar offerin' us a fancy 747 like a hand me down Air Force One. Says Boeing's takin' too long to build a new one. I'm thinkin' 'What's the rush?' But hey I ain't flyin' no fancy planes I'm just poundin' the pavement ya know? Running up those steps one at a time. Like life right?

Arabian Nights and Boeing Blights

Trump was sayin' how some Arab countries got planes that look like they're from another planet. Makes our Air Force One look like a beat up taxi cab. He said the delays at Boeing make us look bad. It's like Apollo Creed sayin' my shorts look ridiculous! Which they did by the way. But then I knocked him out! Ha! This ain't 'bout lookin' good it's 'bout gettin' the job done. Like when I fought Drago. I wasn't pretty but I was effective!

No Free Lunch... or Plane?

So this White House official comes out and says 'No gift's gonna be accepted.' But Qatar's sayin' it's just considerin' a 'temporary' loan to the Defense Department. It's like tryin' to land a punch on a ghost ya know? Confusin'. But Trump says he ain't usin' it after he's done bein' Prez. He's gonna put it in his library. Imagine the size of that bookmobile!

I Appreciate It... I Guess

Trump's all like 'I could be a stupid person and say no to a free plane.' Haha! That's the kind of thing I'd say. But he's worried about the cost of keepin' the thing runnin'. I get it. Even a champ's gotta worry about the electric bill. But a free plane? I'm thinkin' maybe I could use one of those for my pigeons. They deserve better than the roof of my house!

Political Punch Up

Of course the politicians are throwin' punches already. Sayin' a free plane could be unconstitutional. Foreign interference? Spying? It's like when Apollo and I hugged at the end of the fight – everyone thought it was suspicious! But come on it's just a plane! Can't we all just get along? Though that Leavitt lady says they will comply with the laws but I don't know those politicians are always talking!

Eye of the Tiger... or the Airplane?

This whole thing is like preparin' for a big fight. You gotta train you gotta plan and you gotta hope the plane doesn't fall apart mid flight! But hey no matter what happens just remember what I always say: 'It ain't about how hard you can hit but about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.' So let's hope this Air Force One situation lands safely!
