Starbucks Stanstead Poem by Tony Jolley

Starbucks Stanstead



“Harvey! ! ! Come Here! ! ! ”

Your Latest delayed departure time is now 6.15.
EasyJet apologises for this delay.
Refreshment vouchers will be distributed in 15 minutes

“…Yeah! Not Half! We sat on the plane for 90 minutes,
then they off-loaded us: ‘Hydraulic System’.”

This is another boarding call for Flight EZ 311…err….…9..?

“Two Chicken and Smokey Bacon Ciabattas and a Skinny Latte! ”

….Wish you all a very pleasant flight.

“I’m coming! ! I’m coming! ! Mummy: I’m coming! ”

….Will be boarding in ticket number priority order.

“I know: it’s just the way Mother was…”

…In the meantime, please remain seated – your flight will be called shortly.

“…’Scuse my French – but I’m frightened of flying! ”

….Wish you all a very pleasant flight.

“……If I ever get there: yes! ”

I've waited in Airports for hours due to delayed flights. But have never been given any freebies to placate me. I like the disjointed multiple voices. It's very true never a moments peace in an airport.
