When People of Size Take to the Skies

 

By Elton Camp

 

When the extremely obese get onboard a plane

About their comfort and “rights” they complain

 

They forget that one ticket means only one seat

And with their seatmate for space can’t compete

 

Because the passenger who about normally trim

Shouldn’t have blobs of blubber pressed on him

 

Realize that man has paid for the use of a full seat

To have half taken by a tub of lard is sure no treat

 

Southwest Airlines has courage to do what’s needed

Requires fatsos to buy an extra seat if space exceeded

 

The rule is if the armrest between seats can’t be lowered

The “person of size” pays for two seats to get on board

 

Passengers who are of such enormous, abnormal girth

More trouble to the airlines than their business is worth
