A
Longer Day
Up at
six in Caernarfon,
And we
left Wales at nine.
We
drove to Manchester, England
Airport
in lots of time.
We
went through the airport process
And
waited by our gate.
For
the hour flight to Dublin,
We had
to calmly wait.
The
flight to Dublin was delayed.
We
opted for some lunch.
Though
we would miss our connection,
No
panties in a bunch.
In
Dublin we formed a long line,
For
those who missed our flight.
Boarded
a bus for a hotel.
Yes,
it seemed only right.
But
before I could go relax,
To
Boston, they sent me.
Seven
more hours of flying,
Nice
flight and a movie.
Then
things took another bad turn.
Overnight
at airport.
This
makes three times in last six months.
Do I
do this for sport?
Six
AM, on my way again,
Between
two men, my seat.
My
backpack fit as advertised,
But no
place for my feet.
This
was a new kind of torture,
While
I dozed and awoke.
Continually
in discomfort,
A time
when no one spoke.
At
last, we made it to Phoenix,
And
waited to deplane.
Flying
UK to USA,
Eight
hours, we did gain.
So up
most of forty hours
Coming
from the UK.
The
delays and misconnections
Make a
very long day!
