Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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?

Michelle Faulkner June 2, 2019 at 8:08 PM 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! Gershon Wolf June 2, 2019 at 8:12 PM 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

Thanks for commenting, William. :) gw
