Amelia Earhart's Plane

They found Amelia Earhart’s plane!

An under-water drone,

Using sonar, sent an image

Of the Lockheed she did own.

 

In 1937,

Out to circumvent the globe,

Earhart disappeared and searchers

Had no clues with which to probe.

 

She’d planned a fuel stop on an island

Out in the Pacific

But never made it; rumors

Of a crash were not specific.

 

Yet the years have not diminished

People’s interest in her case

And a current exploration’s

Given hope we can embrace.

 

Though confirmation’s yet to come

And will take pricey gear,

This news, unlike the usual,

Is wonderful to hear.
