Virgin Flight
Today I boarded an aeroplane for the very first time
but things didn't go too well...
As I stepped into the entrance
I stumbled , I tripped and I fell,
as I crashed to the floor,
it made an almighty sound,
when I looked up
there were faces staring from all around.
More embarrassed I could not have been,
with my legs akimbo,
all must've seen.
there I laid in a heap in the middle of the aisle,
must've only been a minute or two
but it felt like quite a while.
The more I struggled to get up,
the more embarrassed I became,
I finally made it to my seat
and could have died from all the shame.
The flight attendant came over and whispered ...
" Are you alright "?
She handed me a Brandy and said " Relax and enjoy the flight ".
Before I knew it,
I had knocked back the drink...
So I ordered more,
quicker than you could blink.
The booze wasn't helping,
so I took the Drs Pill,
I'd got for good measure.
because it was then that I freaked out,
thinking that we'd lost cabin pressure.
Then I swear I saw a creature jumping around on the wing
but that was due to me nodding off
remembering a film that I had seen.
When the pilot finally announced
we were coming into land,
I got that excited ,
I grabbed the person next to me's hand.
I dont think I'll ever fly again,
especially on my own,
instead I'll watch travel shows
from the safety of my home.
