South, homeward bound, welcome thoughts As the plane lifts off the ground The curtain of night all around, swift the engines sound Glistening snow whispers below The quiet we find as in our numbers we found This group of travelers' joviality kept us Safe and sound Many a gate we found our way to As the long dark halls we did pound Each flight we did seek a voice would repeat This flight is canceled Some from other parts of this continent All to home, our only content Each flight we did seek a voice to the loud speaker Would repeat, again and again at each gate As we would wait This flight is canceled return you're boarding Pass we will connect you To the next flight, early in the day The lines were a sight Now, all that is left the hearty and few Our luggage, if only where we knew oh me... everything is a poem to me... |
