Away In An Airplane

AWAY IN AN AIRPLANE

Away in an airplane,
no way like to fly.
Admit fear of flying,
afraid I might … die.

Cemetery plot have,
in Bible find deed.
Bought flight Insurance but,
Lord pray … this won’t need.

Made sure was here early,
rolled in on a dime.
Flight with me, without me,
will fly out … on time.

Hate economy seat,
fact not in first class.
Requested seat larger,
need room for … my sass.

For full figure models,
economy’s tough!
Have little more room, if
we flew in the … buff.

Oh, do I know the feeling of a tight squeeze on a plane. They make the sits to small in the planes for anybody of any size not unless you are a child. I was never afraid to ride a plan, kind of enjoyed it. I'm a hyper person and it forces me to be still. Enjoyed reading

Kim, Thanks for loving my sass. Friend gave me a gold stamped stone... SASSY! It just sneaks out every now and then. At 85, glad it's still around. Hope you are staying well my friend.
