Default Here I Sit

Here I sit, broken hearted
Want to leave, but can't get started

Dispatch has a silly plot
So here at YIP, I sit and rot

Planes and pilots will be shuffled here
This idea sure is queer

Out all night, I have been
My duty hours are waaaay past ten

In a little while, I'll take off again
And head for home, where the weather's at mins

Down to 100 and 1/2, the weather is,
The clouds are low, but I've got the vis

Of the approach lights, I hope I get a peek
All I want to do, is go home and sleep

Most would say, damn this fog
But it's a typical night, for this freight dog


This middle of the night crappy poetry brought to you by an extremely bored, caffeine-buzzing, EatSleepFly.

Yup, original ESF material. I almost can't believe it myself. I'm really not that creative, I was just bored.

Sat in the lounge at YIP and came up with it in a matter of minutes. All true too. The weather sucked, and dispatch's stupid idea was a miserable failure that caused two of us to sit in YIP for 6-7 hours. I had a 19 hour duty day, he had 22. It's sad that it's legal.

Time for bed so I can go fly around in what's left of the hurricane tonight.
