In Praise Of Delta Airlines [Part 3 of my Peach State Trilogy]
An original poem by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.
VERSE 1
When objects of desire are unhappy,
They sometimes look for greener pastures?
And if they're treated downright crappy,
They will hit the road that much faster.
VERSE 2
The NRA went to Atlanta,
Hoping to score a sweet incentive.
From the airline which we call Delta,
Then came LaPierre's lengthy invective.
VERSE 3
It seems assault rifles need defending.
And the best defense is a great offense.
But Delta, and others, stopped pretending,
That NRA discounts made any sense.
VERSE 4
But Georgia's Casey Cagle was not meek.
Delta's tax breaks he vowed to undo.
So I'm thinking the airline will soon seek,
A more sensible state for its HQ.
VERSE 5
We'd welcome them to Kentucky.
Getting that revenue would be great.
But I'm doubting we'd be that lucky,
Since The Bluegrass is a ruby red state.
VERSE 6
But what about Jefferson County.
It's bluer than a Wildcat's den.
We'd get a large share of the bounty,
And leave plenty for our country kin.
VERSE 7
Before such success can be enjoyed,
We need more room for terminals to fill.
Mountain top removal could be employed,
To bulldoze the South End through Iroquois Hill.
VERSE 8
But even if Merlin the Magician,
Got Delta here with the wave of a wand.
Some crazy ass politician,
Might screw things up, and they'd be gone.
The End.
