Love Or Loathe

Flying ….love or loathe? Personally….I am a loather From the beginning to journeys end I just want it to be over!! So much waiting is involved in flying Waiting, waiting and then some more Great patience and time is required Just to walk through that plane door There are passengers who strife to get ahead Though their seats are going nowhere? Have half a house in hand luggage Shoved in overhead compartments everywhere! Being squashed in between two others Wedged in a narrow little seat Desperate to go for a wee in the stinky toilet Can’t get out as next door is fast asleep! The cabin air has only two settings Freezing-cold or Hot-stuffy…..no fresh or breezy Turbulence is random Motion sick, scared and oh so queasy! There are always the general ferals on planes Nose pickers and those completely without manners The coughers and splutterers “The absolute delights” who love to drop silent clangers! Finally…..the plane is on solid ground Whole body completely stiff and sore Brain fogged, weary and feeling quite gross “Can someone just please open that exit door”? “Get me out” of this confined germ filled capsule So I can stand up , stretch, breathe real air Every flight I swear “This will be my last” “ I will NEVER again fly anywhere”!
