Airplane Pat Downs and X-Rays

An individual's poetically expressed feelings and thoughts concerning airport pat downs and x-rays.

Patty Cake, Patty Cake

     Pat Me Down

X-Ray My Bones

     So I can leave Town

Who could've ever seen

     that just to Fly in a Plane

That Pat Me Downs and X-Rays

     would become so Commonly Obscene ?!

Back Scatter Screen Me

     Radiate Me good

Bake all our traveling Noodles

     Check under all of Our Hoods

We're Told -

Pat Me Downs and X-Rays

     Will keep Terrorists on the ground

But Patty Cake, Patty Cake

     Terrorism is growing in leaps in bounds

So, Pat Me Down and Zap Me

     with X-Rays all around

Force Every part of Me to Bake and Bend

Go ahead, Fly in the Face of Fear

     then Ask Me again

Where does Terrorism Begin ?

Where does Terrorism End ?
