Aviation

Yesterday I was in Rome, The end of a vacation. Today, though, I awoke at home, All thanks to aviation. I tracked my flight upon the map, The little arrow moving And didn’t take a single nap, The choice of films improving. They served two meals, a snack as well, Plus drinks for our imbibing. The hours slipped by, as you can tell From what I’ve been describing. The flight was smooth, the hassles few; No turbulence or rocking, Though sure enough, and right on cue, Some jet lag’s come a’knocking.

Ha! No, Jan, we fly strictly economy but all overseas flights we've taken have included meals. Not so with flights within the US...
