Rattles, Bleats and Repeats

Don't call it a carry-on It may not fit under a seat Nor an overhead bin item Loose -- it rattles, bleats and repeats You might well ask airlines Their fee for a walking cane... Why, there's no charge at all; they're free They're what? ~ Are airlines gone insane?

I used to work for an airline, at a time when they valued customer service and did not charge extra for a snack or a seat assignment - how things have (sadly) changed!

Things sure have changed on airlines... Just flew to NYC and back last week. The whole experience was just nightmarish (at best). Thanks for the comment, Michelle. :) gw

Air travel has been some times ago, and well after that I've acquired a walking cane--thanks for the 'head's up' GW, Aloha wk
