Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Perps On Planes

Passengers on planes who balk
At following the rules
Should not be seen as harmless,
Merely acting out like fools.

For disobeying mandates,
Flying trapped up in the air,
Is a risky proposition,
Which to seatmates is unfair.

A threat to flight attendants,
Fellow passengers or crew
Should make flying, for the perpetrators,
Totally taboo.

Arresting those offenders
Who cause on-board stress and strife
Isn’t punishment enough – they should
Be cuffed, then banned for life.

Gershon Wolf February 26, 2022 at 8:17 PM Well, banned for life?! Maybe until the masks can be removed anyway... ~ Just sayin'

Maurice Rigoler February 23, 2022 at 7:39 PM Hear! Hear! These trouble-makers should be on a permanent no-fly list. For msny just getting on a plane is stressful enough. These trouble-makers should be forced to take anger management classes (at their expense) too! Their presence on a plane is one reason I do not want to fly. Enkoyed. / Maurice

L Milton Hankins February 23, 2022 at 11:32 AM I think some of them are, Ilene. It's a very serious offense, to cause a ruckus on an airplane. In addition to the dangers, it make all of the other travelers uncomfortable and most of us who fly do not need that extra aggravation. Good writing, Ilene, with a much-needed message.
