overweight starvation


pay,luggage man!front end beam ,two seats on SouthWest Airlines!
pay,little baby!Pay,overweight luggage!
Pay,o item guitar,surfboard,possessions
Refugee cannot afford to pay for bodyweight
Weigh each thought o Ryan Airlines!
Charge more and often o Budget Airlines!
Pay through the nose o Heritage Airlines!
Pay taxes and for your own insecurity-
pay for September 11 indefinitely
Pay for booking with a human
Pay for changes to your flight
And if you are bumped or imprisoned on tarmacs
we take no responsibility.
We have oversold your flight
There are air marshals on board
They have plastic handcuffs and pepper spray
They are watching,vigilant.Do not congregate near toilets
Do not say "bomb" nor "Terrorist".If you are ill,
you may be tackled and confined.Do not expect a service
We are all just doing our jobs.What did you expect-peanuts?
Bring out your cash and credit cards.
