A day in the life

One hour prior she arrives at her gate
"Hurry up!" said crew sked "You can't be late."
She does all her checks and says hello to the crew
She listens to the briefing and sets the coffee to brew.
No time for breakfast says the grumpy in-charge
Let's board this plane our load is quite large.

"Fasten your belt" and "Stow your tray"
"Please arm your door" we're on our way!
From corner to corner and north to south
She manages a smile from her mouth.

"Chicken or fish" she says with a grin
I have coffee and tea or tonic and gin
4 hours later she sits down to eat
that darn bell goes off and she's out of her seat.

Most of us all have the exact same day
Whether its Emirates, United, Delta or Cathay.
Up and down from zone to zone
Where you end up is always unknown!

From the people we meet and the places we see
Laughing it all off is really the key.
I wouldn't trade this job for anything new
its just a day in the life of a cabin crew.
