The Over-Glorified Airplane Ride

“In the pocket of the seat in front of you, you’ll find:” A cushion, stuffed with cotton balls; eight or nine, One Crimson- tinted, two-by-four fleece cut out, And a magazine full of things no one cares about “For your comfort today, we provide:” A seat, which six inches backwards, reclines, A nine inch pixelated Toshitty TV, And headphones that fit no ears, for only $3.50 “Thank you for choosing American Airlines,” Enjoy your seat next to the odorous woman who rants the whole time And you’ll see we break every stereotype. Our attendants are fat and *****y, not skinny and nice. “We hope you find your flight pleasant” Sitting next to the odorous woman, who loves to rant, Or the man who can’t fit in his 17” airplane seat, Pouring onto the lap of the woman, whose infant screams, unwilling to share her teet.
