Travel Today

Travel Today

Travel today ain’t easy,
It comes loaded with grief and despair.
The promise is there,
To take you, by air,
To a land of milk and honey.
Then reality bites,
There are no flights
They cancelled them all in the night.

Now you queue up to hear
The news that you fear,
“Here’s a voucher to use next year.”
But if you’re not happy
With this legal arrangement
You can log on to our website.
And be amused at our efforts
to be ever so contrite

And to fail in our obligations to you.
You can claim your due refund
at this email address,
But don’t expect anything soon.
‘Cos we used all your money;
Yes, I know it’s not funny
But the bosses need paying as well.
