Stuck In the Middle

The window seat provides a view Of clouds and bright blue sky. It’s where you likely want to sit When it’s your turn to fly. The aisle gives easy access If your bladder needs to void. Just pop right up and seatmates Never have to be annoyed. But what remains if by some chance You wait to choose a seat? Being stuck right in the middle Where you’ll settle in defeat. When Window wants to move, you must Unbuckle and step out And you’re disturbing Aisle If you need to move about. The dreaded middle seat’s for those Who just ran out of luck. Without accessibility or views, You’re merely stuck!

Very entertaining, Ilene! Usually I take the aisle seat because I hate bickering, thus I let others have window or middle seats. // paul

I enjoy not flying. So for a seat I am not vieing. But surely when the need arises. A poem like this truly advises. Peace. :)

Yes...I would hate to have the middle east. I go for the window seat on shorter flights! ;) Lovely Ilene. You write about so many different topics. Love that about you. Hugs

LOVE it, and I too hate that middle seat. I just can't keep up with your posts, dear. You are prolific.

I guess this has happened to many of us Ilene - thankfully most of the planes on and off our little Island are relatively small with two seats on either side so if i'm with my hubby I always take the window seat and as the journeys are pretty short no loo trips needed :-) Hugs jan. A 7 from me xx
