Daphne drove me to LAX in the am,
To fly to Amsterdam via KLM.

Where with family I will spend a night.
After this 10 and a half hour flight.

And I hope to arrive well rested,
After in a promotional upgrade to business class I invested.

The security man stated very loud,
that my hairspray was not allowed.

Then he stated do you like this can?
As he handed it to a security woman!

He also told me more news..
In two years I no longer have to remove my shoes.

Apparently, if over 75, one can walk thru security very calm,
Even if, in your shoes, you’re hiding a bomb?

I thought most of the rules I already had heard.
But they seem to get more and more absurd.

I spend two hours in the business lounge before boarding,
A perk of business class that is very rewarding.

Impeccable service very nice,
But at full price it is not worth the price.

I sit in a comfortable lounge chair,
In the air.

I selected a real Dutch dish “huts pot”,
That reminded me of growing up in Holland a lot.

It was a treat,
This Dutch hotchpotch of potato onion carrots and meat.

My next rhyme,
Will be in Dutch time.
