Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Stuck In the Middle

The window seat provides a view
Of clouds and bright blue sky.
It’s where you likely want to sit
When it’s your turn to fly.

The aisle gives easy access
If your bladder needs to void.
Just pop right up and seatmates
Never have to be annoyed.

But what remains if by some chance
You wait to choose a seat?
Being stuck right in the middle
Where you’ll settle in defeat.

When Window wants to move, you must
Unbuckle and step out
And you’re disturbing Aisle 
If you need to move about.

The dreaded middle seat’s for those
Who just ran out of luck.
Without accessibility or views,
You’re merely stuck!

Debbie Guzzi February 15, 2015 at 2:55 PM So nice to read your verse this chilly Sunday afternoon[You must chose to step out of the box Eileen - I so value your rhyming verse and I am sure, beyond a doubt you can do a sonnet! all of the types of sonnets!] Light & Love

Paul Callus February 1, 2015 at 2:30 PM Very entertaining, Ilene! Usually I take the aisle seat because I hate bickering, thus I let others have window or middle seats. // paul

Robert Johnson February 1, 2015 at 8:17 AM I enjoy not flying. So for a seat I am not vieing. But surely when the need arises. A poem like this truly advises. Peace. :)

Eileen Manassian February 1, 2015 at 2:02 AM Yes...I would hate to have the middle east. I go for the window seat on shorter flights! ;) Lovely Ilene. You write about so many different topics. Love that about you. Hugs

Andrea Dietrich January 31, 2015 at 8:51 PM LOVE it, and I too hate that middle seat. I just can't keep up with your posts, dear. You are prolific.

Jan Allison January 31, 2015 at 8:01 PM I guess this has happened to many of us Ilene - thankfully most of the planes on and off our little Island are relatively small with two seats on either side so if i'm with my hubby I always take the window seat and as the journeys are pretty short no loo trips needed :-) Hugs jan.
