A Plane
I flew on a plane -
It was regular size
And far from a luxury jet.
If I had to guess,
I’d say 400 million
Could buy quite a few, I would bet.
With no royals on board,
We were packed in the rows
And content with our pretzels and drinks.
Every passenger paid,
No corruption or bribes,
Which for Air Force One everyone thinks.
All the world is aghast
As Qatar worms its way
Into He-Not-Worth Naming’s elite
And Americans sigh
At another display
Of democracy’s hapless defeat.
