To the Rescue

Connecting flight canceled -
What are we to do?
Rebooked - 10 hours waiting 
Instead of just 2.

While I wasted time
On the plane with our tour,
My husband found someone
(He’s hard to ignore)

Who then came to our rescue 
And found us a flight
Very close to our first one
To make things all right.

An Air France employee
Named Cheftzi,* she knew
How to briskly take charge
And to calm us down, too.

She did what she did
With her own special style 
And as proof of her power,
She got me to smile.

So thank you, dear Cheftzi!
I was a bit crazed
But by working g some magic,
My spirits were raised.
