Airport Blues
by David Pekrul
copyright 03-29-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I work for an airline and travel for free,
It gives me such pleasure and fills me with glee.
They say I am lucky to have all these perks,
To travel the world and see all it’s quirks.

I plan my vacation and do all my packing,
I book my hotel and nothing is lacking.
I go to the airport to wait for my ride,
I’m feeling contented and happy inside.

But the clerk says theyre busy and all flights are full,
(An employee on standby, without any pull.)
At the gate I now sit, just hoping to board,
At the end of the line and I pray to the Lord.

I watch all the passengers board one by one,
And I’m waiting in torment; it’s really no fun,
Then a person I know, an employee named Bea,
Is invited on board and I wish it were me.

The gate is now empty and everyone’s gone,
The clerk says they're full; how I hate that old song.
I travel for free, but didn’t get far,
I vacation once more at the “Old Airport Bar”.

I work for an airline and travel for free…………

I thought this was funny, sad, ironic and reflective all rolled into one. I really enjoyed it.

This is so true. We see things and are impressed by what we saw, not knowing what happened before or after the moment in question. The grass is always greener on the other side. When you get there and look back, remember your on the other side now. This poem although it is about air travle, could be for about any of our desires. Another good write. Thanks, Anthony

What a disappointment. However I expect you eventually get where you want to go. What do they say "There is as much joy in the travelling as the getting there" Don't think that is quite right.

Unless anyone has been there, it is hard to imagine the anxiety and ulser one can get while waiting to board a flight that may never happen.

Hope you enjoy the read,
