Is that it? Samsonite...No, mine's a no-name.
I thought red would do - red unique.
But, my, so many reds on this belt.
The wait, for prized possessions
checked in - clothes for the trip, and razors!
Thought much of myself when
I ran ahead at Immigration, but
the posh lady I raced, walks off now -
she's found her red.
The belt's stopped now. We are all packed.
Hope's never lost if not found yet!
FILO says my neighbour-in-line: First in, Last Out,
kind enough to explain. Well shouldn't it be
LIFO? I wondered, the late loafer that I am.
Yawns - shorter to fly, longer at the belt!
Red, red, everywhere...now
an American Tourister, snooty.
But mine's a no-name
ribbed red, economy class beauty:
and am waiting...
