    British Airways -v- Budget airlines
    An ode from some who knows

    When frequent I fly
    What ticket to buy

    From the main board I am bossed
    To keep down the cost

    Oh no I exclaim, why go so cheap
    You realise I will have no chance to sleep

    We claim to be best in class
    This is just crass

    They call it Easy jet
    You wanna a bet

    Then there is ryanair
    Not exactly known for their customer care

    Check in on line
    Get it wrong and your in for a fine

    Big hand luggage! Fork out more money
    From the look of the staff they think it’s very funny

    Is it because of what you did pay
    That the gate is so far away

    Stand in line, here's no where to sit
    And walk for miles should you need a shit

    Ipods in ears
    If they don’t turn them down, long term damage me fears

    Don't these idiots realise there is no need to compete
    Everyone is going to get a seat

    Everyone push a pull
    If I had a gun, it would be a passenger cull

    Smokeless ciggys and scratch cards for sale
    To be honest it just makes me pale

    Occasionally on time, the trumpet will call
    Me I sit red eyed climbing the wall

    The world’s favourite airline
    The money I spent, all the shares should be mine

    Oh I long for the days of old
    When my BA membership was gold

    Being one of the few
    Who never had to stand in a queue

    It provided many a perk
    Be fitting of me, who drives round in a Merc

    Now it’s just blue
    To the carrier I am just David - Who!

    The Prime Minister who was known as Magg's
    Told them not to cover the flags

    On boarding I used to turn left
    Now I turn right, leg room and comfort is always a fight

    In business hot towels and a good meal
    Even real glasses and cutlery made of steel

    A glass or two a complementary wine
    Thank you very much that will do fine

    The cabin crew I knew
    On the regular routes that I flew

    Always had a smile
    Above the clouds, mile after nautical mile

    Now I am in aways in cattle
    Everything’s a bloody battle

    Bugger all space
    The back of someone's seat in your face

    You still get something to scoff
    But its a case of lump it or you can sod off

    The trip I liked least
    Was one to the Far East

    Not with BA
    But Malaysia Airway

    Found to my dismay
    There was a delay

    Sat next to a fat bird from down under
    Was it a girl or bloke, I was beginning to wonder

    Going home because her dad was dead
    After a few hours her crying was doing my head

    The seat wouldn't recline
    The flight was full so to uncomfortable trip I had to resign

    Arriving late in KL
    I hoped an end to my hell

    A terminal transfer by monorail
    Would I make the connection or fail?

    After 14 hours on my arse now having to run
    I can tell you that was no fun

    At last I got to Penang and its climate of heat
    But all I needed was sleep, I was dead beat

    But after a journey of nine and half thousand miles
    It was worth it just to be greeted by my lovely lady’s smiles

    Should I just quit?
    Or just put up with this shit

    For now I have no choice but to sit here and moan
    I have to be able to pay my bike loan

    Id love to retire
    And just ride by blade of fire

    Never mind, it won't be long till spring
    With the warmth and dry roads it will bring

    Get some heat in the tyre
    Then off on a flyer

    Nothing like the power push
    To give you a rush

    It’s all about the need
    To push up the speed

    But to be totally frank
    It’s also the angle of bank

    When hitting the bend
    My pulse it will send

    Out on my bike
    Now that's what I like

    The 2011 Fireblade
    The best superbike ever made

    It’s time for the last call
    To leave this departure hall

    To return to good old blighty
    If this wind keeps up I might need to prey to god almighty

    Only one more trip this calendar year
    Then its Christmas I hear

    Max out on the booze
    And plenty of snooze

    Its not our turn to have my mother
    But due to my bastard of a brother

    So she is staying with us
    We won’t make a fuss

    But when my bro I will meet
    He’s gonna be dead meat

    If next year he does not take his turn
    On a stake he will burn

    Thanks to all on this forum
    Who stave off my boredom

    With advice and wit
    On what new modifications to fit

    Merry Christmas to one and all
    Don’t know about you but we are going to have a ball

    You've managed to articulate that, beautifully, mate.

    Well done.

    Spell checkers are for secretaries not for artists.
