When People of Size Take To the Skies
When People of Size Take to the Skies
By Elton Camp
When the extremely obese get onboard a plane
About their comfort and “rights” they complain
They forget that one ticket means only one seat
And with their seatmate for space can’t compete
Because the passenger who about normally trim
Shouldn’t have blobs of blubber pressed on him
Realize that man has paid for the use of a full seat
To have half taken by a tub of lard is sure no treat
Southwest Airlines has courage to do what’s needed
Requires fatsos to buy an extra seat if space exceeded
The rule is if the armrest between seats can’t be lowered
The “person of size” pays for two seats to get on board
Passengers who are of such enormous, abnormal girth
More trouble to the airlines than their business is worth
