Poetry - EasyJet

This poem has proven a helpful way for me to come to terms with the sheer cheek of a large airline and its bag-checking partners. You could call it therapy, I suppose. Regular posts will return now that my lazy writing summer has ended.

I’m sorry sir

You'll need to pay

Your bag is now too big

I apologise

That you weren’t charged outbound

Could your bag have grown

I agree it's odd

That it's the same bag

Are you sure you flew out with it

I can’t explain

Why luggage inflation

Impacted only the last ten customers

Or why the other airport

Allowed you to escape a charge

Unless they stood further away

I only apply the rules

As consistency is important

When it comes to inconsistent baggage

I don’t work for easyJet

That’ll be twenty-four quid

The invoice will be from easyJet
