PACKAGE PEOPLE

                                                                       IX

The people for whom they make
The modern aircraft seat
Must be thin, with narrow hips,
Short legs and little feet.

Supple shoulders are a must
So that one can eat
And still avoid the passenger
In the neighbouring seat.

The charming girl suggest that we
"Sit back - enjoy the flight."
But that isn't easy when
Your seat is bolt upright.

Every seat designer
Should be made to fly
Around the world (Economy Class)
To give his seats a try.
