Vacation, Duration, Frustration, Grrr

I know of a pretty New Jersey lass Who decided to vacation First Class But on the very first night Oh no! Cancelled flight What a total pain in the ass I'm sure her tomorrows will be better Or she'll surely be posting a letter If her plane don't take off soon It could be worse than High Noon She'll be angry, we'll just have to fetter When things couldn't have gotten any worse Once again she has to dip into her purse For the flight is okay But triple charges she'll pay A vacation just shouldn't be a curse .

Domo Arigato JS, just maybe this 'Highlander' is no longer a 'Man in the Wilderness' thanks kindly :) :)

Thank you kindly Charmaine, and your right, I don't think we'd want this to happen to us, James :)
