Thunderstorm

Sitting on an airplane, Wanting to complain. We cannot leave on time because Of thunderstorms and rain. Not a fan of danger, But waiting is a pain. The stress of being late negates The safety that we gain. Just got an announcement - Lightning's on the wane. Hopefully, we'll hit the skies And let the tension drain.

It's never happened to ne in all my years of flying, except once when we had to wait about half an hour for the plane to be de-iced. / M

Ilene, I’m with you. I’ve been in those shoes more times than I care to count. Nicely written!

Your discomfort did result in our receiving another great poem. Well done Ilene! I'm another one that could never be a doctor because I have no patience!.........80)

Great rhyme Ilene - am not a fan of thunder at the best of times but being in a plane would scare the poop out of me - happened when we were flying to Malta once I felt so frightened and was just happy when we landed safely:-) have a lovely trip:-) xx hugs Jan
