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. July 19, 2023

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.
