Business boring pass

  * business boring pass *
The tired eyes of traveling
Not seeing new world afresh
Picking out familiar brand placements
Not noticing the rest

A flight from A to B
On business only given
A sleepwaker in economy
All sharp objects are forbidden

No electronic devices
In case you bring plane down
Do not display your unseemly vices
On drunkedness and loudness all travelers frown

Hope your pilot is not distracted
By marital woes or call to God
Else from wreckage your Samsonite extracted
Blame the lack of radar and the fog
You work the percentages
Sitting near the back
You listen to the preflight briefing
Check the engine struts for cracks

The food is marginally less
Than prisoners in solitary are fed
And your fellow passangers have bowel problems you guess
Someone forgot to flush the head

Oh Marco Polo had it lucky
Months to trek cross land
Travelling on a camel or a pony plucky
Map being made in his hand

Yours is a more familar route
Seven flights go there daily
Full of discontented air travelers
Eating peanuts and coffee thick as gravy.
