Most Passengers On This 12-Hour-Flight Are Watching Lethal Weapon

I noticed whilst walking up and down the thing
What's going on here I thought
I had been given a middle seat
In what I consider to be the worst flight I have ever experienced
The two passengers either side of me were trolling
Ghosting me 
Two Count Drunkulas in the dark
I got up and sat in one of the flight attendant's seats
I needed leg room and the final frontier
I needed me, myself and rock star parking
Like a suicidal cop
The window seat bloke started shaving
A nudge war after landing to hurry it up 
As he was gagging for a cigarette
I was so mentally fatigued 
Cream crackered and shagged 
That I forgot to make this poem a calligram 
As was originally intended
You know, in the shape of the fuselage
Oh what genius
I told friends
They asked what other films were available on the flight
Lethal Weapon 2 I replied

Hi Christopher, As one who often go on long flights to home {more than 12hrs too}, I sympathize with you but find this nevertheless hilarious. Enough to keep one awake on my next trip.
