My Spontaneous Trip To New Zealand
I booked a plane for New Zealand and headed out.
The instant the plane landed I saw a kangaroo to chase.
The other passengers were amused, but airport security wasn’t.
I was chased by the best of them, and dragged to a holding area.
There were other convicts here. We entertained each other.
For several hours – breaking out the bubbly, toasting and snorting.
There was some sleeping and breaking wind too.
It was a small place, but I made the best of it. As did the others.
Once released, my hotel room had been given away to others.
So I slept in the lobby until a gentle woman took my hand.
She led me out into the street and we drove around the island.
I have no idea what her name was, but we were instant friends.
We spent several days together, making jokes, shopping, laughing.
It did not get weird until she told me I looked like her missing daughter.
I crept out during the night and got back on a plane heading for home.
You can barely imagine my surprise when I woke up…..
And she was sitting in the seat next to me.
