"So many flights" By Ben Goode 2017 (c) Image is not mine

Thankyou sir for being here

On the plane, I fake my cheer.

Smile that hurts, my face so long.

Make it fly, a happy song.

Perform I will a safety show

You never listen, never know

Maybe if I look away

I just want to go, but have to stay

Life jacket now, around my waist

Want to sit, so I make haste.

Walk the aisles, where you see.

The uniform, that is not me.

Looking up you see me smile.

Can I rest a little while?

Coffee now, you want some cake?

Ignoring me, I'm feeling great.

Manners gone, you wave away.

Ok sir, have a nice day.

Take you rubbish? Thankyou sir.

Smile again, I will concur.

Sitting down, you look at me.

Staring forward, so I can't see.

Another day, my hair is tight.

Another day, so many flights.
