The mouths
Of Stewardesses
On Aeroplanes
Are the most standard
Mouths in the world
I stare agogged
At their springtime
Doublespearminted smiles
As they teach me all about
The oxygen mask

Toerag,
And you better pay attention or you'll be putting the wrong flask sorry I mean mask to your mouth. Nice one.

Toerag, you must fly IN the plane not ON the plane.

But as soon as they finish their canned safety spiel, you'll have them laughing and keeping you supplied with free drinks and offers for "later"... so be patient just a moment more! LOL

Now... get off that plane for a few minutes and stick around! *G*

Toerag,

I like your use of aeroplane and agogged. A curious bit of poetry ~ thanks for it. (o:

A very fun write from a poet who sounds as if he may be a frequent flyer. LOL
