Global Entry

We bought our Global Entry cards
In pre-pandemic days,
Believing they would ease our travel
In some helpful ways.

But Covid hit soon after
So those cards were never used,
Yet when our trips resumed
Our pre-check status was refused.  

The US airlines never gave
An explanation why,
But we kept trying every time
We purchased seats to fly.

Today, though, on Air Canada,
An agent made a catch -
My boarding pass and entry card
Were not a perfect match.

It seems there are 9 digit codes
(2 sets!) on every card
And entering the wrong one 
On a form was not that hard.

The problem solved, we got new passes
And were on our way,
With pre-check status never given
By the USA.
