Kokito

A furor surely was ignited When somebody from United Made a bad decision With a most unpleasant end. A carrier with dog inside (The flight attendant notified) Was placed with luggage which The family couldn’t comprehend. The overhead compartment where Kokito languished had no air And so he barked, expecting That he soon would be unpenned. The owners begged, to no avail. Kokito’s cries did not prevail And soon the family learned they’d lost Their sweet and loyal friend. United gets a new black eye And not a soul should wonder why Of all the airlines, this is one I would not recommend.
