The Take Off.

All set to fly
the aircraft was getting ready
with the passengers coming one by one
taking the allotted seats
Pushing their hand baggage in the cabin
and fastening the belt with a tag in
The air crew demonstrate in earnest
as how to fasten the belts in best
and how to make an emergency exit
with none paying attention to the wit
announces the captain in his gruff voice
the grand take off.

The engine starts with a groan
getting on the runaway in tone
The plane takes off smoothly
gliding through the sky
Up and up it goes fast
piercing into the clouds
The passengers get settled at last.
Switching on the prerecorded videos
with the head set on listening to the audio
enjoy the early hours of flight.
Then comes the meals and drinks
enough to keep them on.

As the hours go by there settles in
a dull monotony and comes a strain
With legs aching and the head getting dizzy
sleep creeps in silently .
Nodding the heads to and fro the passengers fly
turning the aircraft to a discreet silence.
In the dreary night the plan flies in lead
with about three hundred and fifty on board it speeds.
The old, young and the kids sleep
with an uncomfortable orientation
longing to land and run into the terrain
wanting to stretch and breathe fresh air.
