Seat of the pants

Ahead of Business Class
Ahead of First Class
Ahead of Executive,
Gold Star, Diamond,

And of course, Super-Elite,
Are special seats,
Reserved for those who fly,
By the seat of their pants.

Because everyone in this section,
Is rushing towards some destination,
The section uses the abbreviation
"SOP,"
To save time.

And many of them are sops indeed,
Dishevelled poets, most of these,
Overcoming their tribulations,
With romantic sentimentality.

But not all of its denizens,
Are inhabitants by choice.
And near them you can sense,
Frustration in their demeanour,

Hurling profanity,
At the connection they missed,
And swearing quietly,
At a loved one they miss.
