QF1871 5/4/2012 from Darwin Airport to Cairns, Terminal D Seat 2C

At Darwin I met Lonnie

an angel in the airport

A Jet Star lady told him

about me

and up he came

Full of upbeat banter

a kind of all year Santa

A Boarding card

But would not tell me

his name.

He took me to the pat down place

Where I had to sign a form

I told them not to squeeze my legs

They were feverish and warm

They agreed and they didn’t squeeze them

and after that ordeal

I sat and watched others entering

the “Twilight Zone” for real!

Then Lonnie came back for me

and saw me to the plane

an angel, a real angel

so caring once again

Which made me truly realise

That angels do exist

They really truly are out there

Reading to assist

The shuttle from the Hotel

alas though paid for came

But I could not get up its steps

and a taxi man by name

Took me for 20 dollars

The shuttle was no good

It was frightfully inadequate

Much worse than it really should

So to meet up with Dear Lonnie

and be helped so very much

Brought faith back to me actually

And just kept me in touch
