Flight Delays

Nothing's ever certain 
When relying on a flight.
You may confront delays for which
You're powerless to fight.

A little snow or fog or else
Mechanical concerns
Might get you where you're going late -
Departures or returns.

It's futile making solid plans -
They're bound to disappoint 
And when they do, just try your best
To not get out of joint.

Hi Ilene. No way in heck I'd fly today. I'd have to be picking up a lottery win before I flew. I wouldn't be surprised if strip searches come to the airlines now days. I'd feel like Joan Of Arc entering the church for one on a plane now days. Too many things scare me now days with planes. I'm sure if I threw up on one God forbid, I'd be kicked off the plane as a potential virus threat. And that after having their peanuts. LOL Stay nuts Ilene. LOL Trevor

One of the advantages of being a senior is that it is less likely your world will crumble from a late, cancelled, or flight-in-progress return. Aloha! Rico

It is very hard to deal with these delays at times but there really is nothing you can do so better to just grin and bear it. Nicely done Ilene.
