Australia

For koalas and wallabies yearning,
piles of money for tourism earning,
to Australia flying
and on jet fuel relying,
we now lose it and yell: "Oz is burning!"

The Screaming Toilet

One morning while strolling in the park
A screaming toilet fell from the sky
A stewardess strapped to it like a rock
Coming at me loud and meteoric
Sometimes I wonder about such things
Falling airline personnel in suits and ties
Toilets working overtime without their wings
Thinking about flushing away unwanted things
Did someone forget to secure a bolt or two?
Did the lady mistake it for a parachute?
I often think about how safe it is to fly
As screaming toilets fall from the sky


Premium Member The Vicissitudes of Modern Air Travel

I relax and sip my martini cruising at 40000 feet.

If only my bags arrive with me, all will be complete

I arrive in Tokyo and watch the carousel go 'round and 'round.

Although it made many circuits, my luggage could not be found!

Here I sit forlorn in the terminal in Tokyo, Japan.

Alas, my shirts and drawers ended up in Kyrgyzstan!

Air Travel

bags are packed cautiously locked
 ready to go
car trip to airport feels cramped
emotions  plateau
weigh-in and check-in formalities
extremely slow
final good-byes security scrutiny 
passport control

 departure clock promising leaving
on time
 heavy hand luggage warily tolerate
anticipate crime
 boarding claustrophobic cramped space
aisles align
narrowed encumbering  burdens as
knees decline

seating accomplished a major feat
  companion random
 anticipate take off adrenalin rush
stresses abandon
safety procedures inevitably commence
accidents happen
relief as drinks trolley heads my direction
air-travel rescue wagon
