I don't like Travelling

I get so stressed by flying.  I like to do everything by the book.  The first thing I do is turn up extra early.  My biggest fear is being left.

#111 A fine Bottle of Beaujolais


I am like a bottle of expensive wine
I don’t travel well
I like the idea of travelling
As soon as the day arrives
I realise this is my personal hell
First you have to check in
There are codes to remember
You’ve got to get it right
Get it wrong
There is no boarding this flight
Why do planes leave at such ridiculous times?
Some too early, some late at night
Whatever time there always is a long wait
First at the main terminal
Then at the gate
Which is always a long walk away
If I wanted to walk all this way
I would have not booked the plane
Somehow mysteriously we are in our seats
Now the wait while the cabin crew
Carry out all their safety checks, complete
I don’t mind take it off
With so much praying I figure we’ll be alright
The higher we fly the better I feel
Sometimes there is a little turbulence
Then we start to descend
Now I am excited
I can no longer pretend
I step off to foreign land
With my passport and camera in hand
Ready for an adventure
An adventure in a foreign land
