Maggot Airways

Folks, you just can't make this stuff up.Yesterday a US Airway flight was delayed in Atlanta when maggots began dropping out of the overhead baggage
compartment. The culprit, rotten meat in a passenger's carry on. Oh, the possibilities here!


Poem Artwork

Coffee, tea, or maggots

The flight attendant said

You can even have your choice

The live ones or the dead

 

The X-ray partly cooked them

They clearly cannot sicken

So go ahead give them a try

We think they taste like chicken

 

This could be your only chance

To dine on this cuisine

The TSA has decided to

Recalibrate their machine

 

So from the flight deck thanks a lot

For choosing our friendly skies

We hope to have you on the ground

Before the maggots turn to flies

More protein than peanuts. On a flight from Manila, the lady in the window seat had two shopping bags at her feet. She said thy were [dried?] fish. After customs in Honolulu, she only had one bag--a bribe?

The airlines now charge for all refreshments - wonder what the price for Maggot Pie will be?? (And they already have a customer - Mr. Matlack!)

That's why it's been nicknamed "Useless Air." Good one Patrick.

I always knew the food was bad, but never realized it was that bad. I will have to consult with Robert....

They musta had a stopover, there's something rotten in the den...I'm sure thankful for the overpowering beer breath and hotdog onions to cover it...it smells wonderful, Patrick, keep belching them out!

Love,

Do they come with peanuts and a plastic cup of ginger ale? I hope so. That's how I like my maggots best.

When I saw this story on the news yesterday, I could have taken bets that this will be a Granfors poem within twenty-four hours. Knew I'd win that bet. Very clever, my friend.

You talk about going green, green food, green power, I mean if you can calibrate the amount of wingpower needed to displace some conventional jet power, I can hear the cockpit already engine one engine two one thousand fifty hundred thousand, all by computer of course, and for landing maybe a dead moose on the runway..........on second thought did I detect some hesitancy as to the green food on your part, after all meat is meat is'nt it ha

Kind of a "rotten" subject, but you certainly did it justice...

Thanks Dick
