On the Plane To Spain

On her first trip to Spain
Claimed aisle seat on the plane
Right next to some large bloke
Sure glad that he couldn’t smoke
‘Cause it’s a real long flight
Things would for sure get tight
He’d squish her like a stamp
She’d surely get a cramp
But best not make a scene
Just breathe, keep her nose clean

She planned to have a snooze
Get help from bit of booze
Started with rum and coke
But that was just a joke
Called for a nip of gin
That just gave her a grin
Needed to raise a notch
Asked for a glass of scotch
Great, now she felt no pain
Sure she’d wake up in Spain
