Fly The Unfriendly Or Smelly Skies

Turbulence has once again hit United Airline’s motto Fly the Friendly Skies

Seems like only yesterday a Chinese doctor was dragged off overbooked flight by police

So a replacement crew could be ahead flown

Then on a flight from London to the U.S. a giant rabbit was DOA

Now a Nigerian mother found her business class seat occupied by a white exuding rude

Refused to move so this woman was moved to that man’s seat

Whose seatmate started to complain of having to sit next to someone he claimed stunk

Not sure whether UA is with odor meters equipped

Or whether the stews became mine canaries to stiff

But soon she and her children were out of the plane and on the ground

UA has been hit with a discrimination suit

Was it the woman’s  odor after three long flights caused by stress even in business class

Or a man’s nose picking up the  racism scent?

Having to sit next to a black in a business class seat

What next in addition to drug sniffing canines

UA needs odor sniffing canines to litigation block?
