The plane ride.
My goal may have changed.
My destination may have altered.
Nevertheless, I am a fool
If I continue to pay for jet fuel.
As the price of fuel sky rockets,
I'm feeling a lot emptier in my pocket.
My destination is to stay at home.
It's less expensive to communicate by phone.

Post a CommentWonderful job on this!!!!!! :) :)
The internet is also an effective tool for covering vast distances. I believe a lot of us are going to be doing a lot less traveling this year.
I am glad that I don't fly...great piece!
No doubt. Flying is certainly not in my immediate future. A very clever piece Steven!
