NO CODE!


On the way home from Arizona on February 26th 2013, I sat

in the second row. As the plane began to take off the stewardess

began to give directions waving her hands and doing the double

crossed wrists demonstrating the exits. The demo for the seat

belt was a bit hard for her as her nails were so long they

impeded her ability to close the seat belt. Then as I watched the

fiasco of the Oxygen mask and her fumbling to get the small

elastic straps between her fingers, I began to worry. I wrote this

little poem to address my concerns.

No Code!

I heard the nails go clickety-clack

And shuddered to think of a heart attack

Should the girl giving the demo and wearing the wings

Do CPR on a passenger while wearing those things?

Could she save my life in manufactured talons?

I think not! More likely she’d end up a fugitive felon

She could puncture a lung or probably something worse

Hey, I’ll take my chances; Stop Her! I’ll end up in a hearse
