My JetBlue Flight

I’m on an A320.
It’s a plane that isn’t new,
So everything on board is old
Except, of course, the crew.

The little TV screens don’t work
Nor do the reading lights.
There’s no place to plug chargers,
Quite unusual for flights.

The seats are full and I could kvetch
Much more, without a doubt,
But I’ll be fine as long as
Windows don’t start popping out.

Good grief I say. Time for first class :) Maybe for me when I win the lottery! Tee hee.

I'd be a nervous wreck travelling on a plane like that! It's bad enough I'm nervous as it is when I fly on one of those enormous Jumbo jets! In all my years of flying I've experienced only one in air horror: An engine on my side was on fire and we had to make an emergency landing. With the oprobkem fixed, we took off again on the same plane. / Maurice

Lol. I love this slam on the airline industry. I hope they don't ban you, though.

Haha very funny Ilene….I've been on planes like that and being not very brave when flying it makes me feel even more apprehensive when they are old and worn!! Love your poems! Debx
