Up Up and Delay

T'was the day of departure
And our spirits were high
When in came the email
That said - "You can't fly!"


Well not at your scheduled time 
anyway
It will be another 3 hours before
You're up and away

The reason they gave was
"Operational constraints"
This was the beginning of 
Our tirade of complaints

We took the delay on the chin
Right up near the lip
And consoled ourselves with 
A Mexican cheese dip

(on our way to Panchos Mexican Restaurant for Cheese Dip)

On arrival at the airport
Terminal 1
We were greeted by a non smiling lady 
Her hair in tight bun

She gave no look of service
Clearly unhappy in her job
Then handed us our boarding pass
And looked away in fob (as in fobbed us off)


On closer inspection 
Mar-Lou did pick up
That we had be shafted from 
Our silent zone, extra legroom and child free seats that we had booked and paid for and instead placed us down the back near the toilets in row 54!


So........

Back down we went 
To the lady with the bun
Who saw us coming from a distance 
And looked like she may run

But we caught her in time
To explain her mistake
No apology given
And a smile that was fake

We came out the victors
As was clearly our right
And we sauntered to the "salubrious" departure lounge 
To wait for our flight.

Thus far our journey
Has been a real hoot
But I guess that's what you get
When you choose to fly Scoot!

So, this is what we did whilst waiting for the plane......

How do you wear this neck pillow?




Update:  After visiting the Woman's Museum in Hanoi.... I've finally worked out how these pillows should be word.

Who wore it best?
