Rain clouds the day, the car wouldn't start
her stocking were wet from a leak in the hall
But hair dryers work and Bob fixed the car
So Angelica arrives, looking dressed for a ball
After passing through the airport security line
behind a young nervous chap, passing gas
Angelica's mood begins to brighten again
finding she's been bumped up to first class
Smiling to herself, she flits down the aisle
finding her cushioned seat, quite to her liking
until she begins to realize, she's encumbered
between a pregnant woman and a burly Viking
The Flight lifts, all is well, except for the Viking
who seeks to smooth his nerves gone amuck
ordering whiskey in droves in loud overtones
it's odor forcing Mama-to-be, to violently upchuck
Searching in haste for a bag, she reaches below
tossing her cookies into some opening unseen
which turned out to be Angelica's new purse
"Not my Gucci!" she screamed "How obscene!"
After landing, Angelica rushes to freshen up
before meeting up with friends, Edna and Hugh
only to end up with the bottom of her new dress
quite stuck in the lock, of the door to the loo
She begins carefully pulling at her silken dress
trying to free it, without harm, but to no avail
losing temper's grip, she finally tugs it free
turning her long dress into a mini with a tail
Angelica goes racing out of the loo, in panic
searching frantically for her friendly hosts
and crashes into the janitor's mop bucket
sending her sailing into some concrete posts
She manages to slowly get upon her feet again
wincing at the goose egg that's on her forehead
noticing Edna & Hugh in the growing crowd
so embarrassed, now she wishes she were dead.
Edna & Hugh come to her rescue with loving arms
saying the same thing happened to Hugh once before
they all had a hearty laugh as they headed to the car
all forgotten as she gazed upon New Zealand's shore.

Wow!
Not only is this hilarious, but the rhyming and flow is fabulous. I loved the whole thing, and it gave me quite a laugh. "Not my Gucci!" she screamed "How obscene!" Hahaha. You really are talented. Keep writing always.

Dear Lisa,
~~~
I have read your fine poem 'bout Angelica's roam
and a few of her sad misadventures.
She's a bit of a mess with that rip in her dress
and we think she's forgotten her dentures!
Though we had a long wait till she checked through the gate
we are glad she's arrived here to stay.
If she'd sighted, dear Lisa, the tower of Pisa
it would mean that she'd flown the wrong way!
For a flight via Rome's the wrong way to our home
if she's flying to Christchurch direct
and we don't give a hoot to see London en-route
nor the Pyramids would we expect.
If she's seen all those things then her angelic wings
will have taken her out of her way.
For, from Sydney, her flight doesn't go overnight
but takes less than one sixth of a day.
I'm afraid I've departed from what I had started
to state, so I'll give this a rest.
It would be very rude if I didn't include
thanks for entering in this contest.
~~~
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh.
