This is a very cute poem you have penned about your job and became a Texan. You used very cute and good descriptive words. I love the art work you chose to go with your words. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

thanks, Teri.
Didn't do well in the contest, but appreciate your good wishes anyway.
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
The picture is fine. Definitely not too big for the piece. So, Delta didn't really do it for you? I always thought they would be a tremendous place to work.
Cute ditty.

It was. but in Houston, in those days, their office was way downtown and employees had to park down under the freeway - (not a great part of town) and once a month ONE reservationist had to work the 11:00 PM to 7:00 shift by themselves, and there was nobody else in the building. That, alone was scary, but parking under the freeway that late at night with no one else around was dangerous. AND I hadn't planned on being that far from home. One thing, though, it did make me more independent.

This is a hoot! I love how you made the lines rhyme, even when they weren't going to. It's awesome when people invent words that everyone knows the meaning of immediately. I would think that Delta would be fun to work for, but then, 'reservationists' likely means call center work. I've been there, done that, had the breakdown aaaaand, hit repeat. Nice poem that fits the prompt well. Good luck in the contest!

thank you so much! Let me tell you 2 quick things. First I was too chicken to be a stewardess, and second, my very fist caller (and I was being monitored on the phone by my boss) was a man in the service who wanted reservations to the Aleutian Islands, family plan with his family going on a separate day from him. #I, I had never heard of the Aleutian Islands. #2, Though I hate to admit it, this was before computers and we had these 10 ton books with all the airlines' schedules in them which took a while to figure a reservation like that. Talk about a nervous wreck!

These difficult one in a million calls always happen when it's your first caller. Hopefully you had floor support there to help you! It's funny now, but I'll bet at the time it was horrible!
-
I did have help after the end of the call, fortunately, but I told the caller that I'd work on it and call him back.

I have the same problem with pictures. they all come out fuzzy, these days. It never used to happen not it happens all the time. Still it cis the words that are important on this sight not the pictures.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your concise, skillfully written poem conveys a strong message about how a person is affected by finding a very desirable position--far from home, and lonely. (I don't think the picture's too big.)
