The Lack Of WiFi Ditty

I am depressed at the lack of wifi on this Southwest flight, so I decided to write a rhyme.

Hey Southwest, we are best friends,

I love you so much, me you and your overhead travel bins,

But lately we been getting along quite badly,

Because you hate in flight wifi, making me fly sadly,

Southwest, my laptop feels unloved

Bereft of connection it’s pathetic like a wingless dove,

I cry out to you in internet-free agony,

You offer five dollar beers like they are fine chardonnay,

I ask, excuse me Virgin America, what do you have to offer?

They reply everything you want is in the proffer,

I sigh that they hate my airports,

Leaving me shivering in the connectivity cold with open Ethernet ports,

Southwest my love, please catch up to the game,

After all we only love you because you are cheap, and our budgets change

Oh never mind, you just gave me free peanuts, brb.

I think that if airlines allowed free wifi (and power) on all flights, the passengers would be so occupied that the airlines could cut down on flight attendants and reduce costs...
I know a few people who can forget to eat when they are busy working...
