Diverted

Left Tampa bound for home And though all caution we exerted, We've landed in Virginia Since our flight has been diverted. La Guardia said no more flights Could land and so we skirted The airspace that surrounds it, All the pilots thus alerted. Though naturally I'm glad that Awful weather's been averted, The passengers, including me, Are rather disconcerted. My hope is that the thunderstorms Will somehow be subverted; If not, you'll hear some curses Which my lips will like have spurted.

Once on my way to France we hit some terrific turbulence over the Atlantic. I was in the men's room at the time and got slammed about for a few minutes. Nothing serious but scarry. / M

I sure have missed reading your poetry Ilene. I just admire your cadence and ability to rhyme while painting a complete picture with your words. And this was funny too!!!
