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)
