Talk about
taking the spirit of Bah Humbug to new heights
A man with a
hair trigger of rage was kicked off an American Airlines flight
Rage arising
over delay, a middle seat, no space in the luggage rack, babies screaming in
his ear?
Not condoned
but at least understood but to receive a greeting for Merry Christmas cheer?
Whatever happened
to tolerance and understanding of other creeds?
If a simple “Merry
Christmas” touched him off only imagine what a real issue might lead
The
passengers’ applause as he was led off the plane perhaps in bad taste
Hopefully, this
unnamed Scrooge will not let this learning lesson go to waste
Life on this
planet can be full of worry and stress
But rage is
an emotion surrounded by strangers one should suppress
Save the
anger on a plane for being bookend by two 300 pounders while in a middle seat
On a long
flight in coach with the lack of leg room all attempts to find sleep too easy
to defeat
While the hyperactive
kid keeps pounding your back with his feet
And the man
on the left the slop fed into an air bag soon meets
And the man
on the right after a night on the town a foul odor secretes
Just when
you are ready to descend to the ground a weather delay soon greets
But “Merry
Christmas?” Give the rest of us me a break
Put this man
on the Do Not Fly List for the other passengers’ safety sake.
