1. An Even Lower Low

Airlines charge for luggage now
Although that once was free.
They make a mint demanding
That all flyers pay a fee.

They also charge for food and drink
And “extra” legroom, too.
We grouse and grumble but there’s not
A lot that we can do.

And now I hear they’re sinking
To an even lower low.
There’ll be a cost for bins that hold
The smaller things we stow.

United’s at the forefront
Of this latest air offense,
To build their coffers quickly
At the passengers’ expense.

I just signed a petition
That will underscore this view.
In the meantime, when I’m flying,
I’ll stay loyal to JetBlue.*

*which still doesn’t charge for
 luggage and gives free snacks, too
