Looming over treetops

An alien-looking dome

Placed in rural Hertfordshire

For Heathrow jets to home

Above the pleasant countryside

The sound of circling planes

Intrudes upon the peace and quiet

Of winding country lanes

High up in their cabin seats

The passengers prepare

To fasten up the seat belts

All blissfully unaware

That on the ground below them

This space-like shape was planned

That from the busy London skies

They all would safely land.
