Sense Sonnet - Acher

Fly Unlike a Bird

Mankind was meant to fly some said
Way back when just the birdies flew.
Flying is for the birds. I dread
My next plane flight. I really do.
The last time that I flew 'twas bleep.
Two flights cancelled due to bad luck.
The airport floor - no fun to sleep.
T.S.A hands on - nip and tuck.
At last on a plane, but fate balked.
Ten hours on the tarmac lined.
For the time spent I could have walked.
Flight by mankind has turned unkind.

I predict that next time I fly,
Without a doubt I'm gonna cry.
