The Friendly Skies

Talk about a frightful flight I think it was last Thursday night I was heading out of town for work Our flight attendant went berserk Instead of the normal spiel they gave This lady starts to rant and rave Her own airline she really trashes Screams about bad luck and crashes No, it was not the friendly patter She came across as a Mad Hatter The other crewmen try to stop her Eventually we had to hop her Hold her down, call 911 This all before the flight’s begun We had to taxi to a gate As on the local cops we wait Something had snapped, she couldn’t hack it They took her off in a straight jacket They took our numbers, took our names Loaded us on other planes No explanation of what just happen Perhaps recruiters once were nappin’ All in all I now surmise Unfriendly fly the friendly skies Mdailey 3/10/12
