Poem in the back of one of the 'Skies Call books'
Can't Post
Hi, I've been trying to find any one who can remember or has access to the 'Skies Call series'
In the very back of one of the volumes, was a poem about what you'd do if you had your life over again.
I can't remember whether it was in volume 1, 2 or 3, but the last line was something about having all the money you'd ever had and spending it on Jumping......
It finished something like:-
'.....and spend every single cent I had and Jump and Jump and Jump.........'
Can anyone tell me what volume it was in and/or send me this poem?
Equally, does any one know who it's by? Was it ever published elsewhere?

Must be in the original book as it's not in II or III.
I'm glad you asked, though, as it gave me a reason to peruse again those great photos, including the inverted Cessna jump (Phil Rogge, SCIII, #12), which is the coolest skydiving photo I've ever seen.

Hi Matt,
Here you go:
THE JUMPER
If I could retrieve the fortune I have spent Worrying where it came from, not caring where it went, I could live the heady lifestyle of Playboy magazine I would see the worldly sight that still remain unseen.
It must amount to thousands I’ve squandered on the sport The mark of any jumper, a balance close to naught, But if I had it back in one financial lump I’d go south in the winter And jump and jump and jump.

I love the Skies Call trilogy! I've had all three books fanned out on my coffee table at home, ever since I bought the coffee table! (thanks for letting me 'borrow them' dad!)
