Listening to ' Beatles Sunday Morning' <br />Reminds me of a foggy London memory....... <br />Spent nine hours on a plane from JFK <br />Some years ago back in the 60's <br />Attempting to land in London <br />Fog so thick no way to get down <br />So up we go and circle, circle, circle 'round... <br />Still no visibility, so back we go <br />To Shannon, landing there to refuel; <br />Wanting to throw up - so queezy! <br />Sat on that plane for 2 hours eating Rolaids <br />But I do recall the beauty of the country <br />As we soared high above and circled 'round...... <br />I vowed to return one day <br />When my stomach could handle the trip; <br />So here we go again, onward to England <br />This time the fog has lifted <br />And there on top of the buildings <br />Throngs of people are waving and shouting.... <br />Certainly not for this American plane, <br />But for the Beatles - on a plane <br />Coming down somewhere behind us! <br />What a thrill! And here we are in London <br />Just in time for dinner -' on the house' <br />Thanks to the delay in reaching our destination. <br />That's the closest I'll ever get to 'royalty' <br />But still a memory I'll treasure forever.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beatles-memory/
