Peter and Doreen pick up Bill and Mavis in their people carrier and take them off to the airport.

“Well here we are everyone at the airport” said Pete,

With the others looking forward to a treat.

Four old age pensioners line up at the check-in gate,

making sure an hour too early they were not too late.

They sit around for the gates to open on their cases,

families join them, young children with smiling faces.

A smiling pretty young lady, sits and calls them forward,

the gates are open Peter goes up and soon looks awkward.

Looking at the tickets the lady explains that he is wrong,

ushering them to the next queue which is very long.

They join the 18-30’s with beach-wear and surfboards,

who look at them thinking they should be on the Norfolk Broads.

“Are you sure we are in the right queue?” asked Mavis and Doreen

They had left Peter to book on Line and the tickets they hadn’t seen

“I thought we we flying to Ireland to that lovely place called Cork

not to the place across the Atlantic Ocean called New York”

“Sorry sir New york is the next line along this is Coz”

Bill laughed “That’ why they call you the Wizard of OZ.”

Mavis gave him a look and put on her glasses

“No wonder it’s expensive you made us look like asses”

With red faces they move along then on their way,

along to departures, they will never forget that day,

Doreen and Mavis go shopping in the duty free,

spending a small fortune with a shopping spree.

Bill and Pete go off for a drink to calm their nerves for flying,

and to dread the bill for the things their wives are buying.

Soon they are called to board and will be up in the air,

Hopefully in their bank accounts there will be money to spare.

So cheerio England hello Coz, New York, Cork or wherever

we just hope we will get some nice fine weather

hopefully with not too much sun or we will fry

We will write about our holiday, so Goobye.

THE END
