A new absurdity of modern life

[cnoocy]

So, sometimes you are traveling for work
to do a bit of P.R. at a plant
belonging to your parent company
and while you're coming home you have to walk
through big detectors at the airport, just
so they can check to see if you're a threat
when everyone can see you're plainly not.

But sometimes you're a penguin, which is cute.

Coming home from Montreal last night
I got the treatment from security.
They patted down my bod; they searched my bags.
Let's just be clear. I'm not a terrorist.
I want my planes to safely fly and land.
But I must fit some profile somewhere dark
and secret, 'cuz this happens all the time.
It's loathsome. Though they're never anything
that's not polite, I wish whatever type
of terrorist I fit would just get CAUGHT
so I'd not have to suffer rigmaroles.

Eh, well. I'm home, and glad to be there. And
the penguin story's cute, I must admit.
