Plane Ride

In my throat, a lump I felt, I quickly fastened my seat belt.
Very soon we were airborne, In the clouds, on a chilly morn.
They served coffee with a few peanuts, But something inside was wrenching my guts.
My glasses flew; my pupils blew, My heart rate, through the roof it grew.
Due to major turbulence it felt like a slide, Dear folks it wasn’t a plain ride.
