Tight knit American seats

Squashed between an oversized Brit

And my swimmer husband

Knees squirmed

The tattoo on the Englishman

Didn’t tell his story

Driver of luxury SUV’s

Ten days from Dallas to Alaska

With three hours of shut eye

For every twenty-four hours

A cockney accent cutting through a knife

Manager wife of Universities

Make for an exceptional couple

I could ignore

Smoke infested neighbors

Due to my nostril disability

But the snotty flight attendant offered

No compensation for my gluten intolerance

A two- hour summer squash
