Fortunate!
European flights to the US reopened,
On Remembrance Day, just in time!
Booked mine the next day, and been,
Spoiled with a first class experience.
Honoured!
To be treated like a responsible adult.
Landed at Dallas Fort Worth airport,
Amid the Omicron Covid-19 variant,
Yet, no forced vaccination nor mask!
Indulged!
In Room 1672 of the grand Sheraton Hotel,
Overlooking the stunning Dallas City Centre.
Perpetually overfed in absolute luxury, ensued,
By a January of laboured exercise routine!
Worshiped!
In the office, and respected like a celebrity,
Interacted and blended in company of giants,
Shared the 35th floor with executive leadership,
Then took the CEO chair in the boardroom.
Bon vivant!
Gourmet meals at exquisite restaurants,
Traded quips over a bottle of red wine,
Sampled the local Texan-brewed beer,
A joyous Christmas spirit in the air!
Pampered!
With an NBA basketball game, captivated from,
American Airlines Center; Suite 1151, Row A, Seat 5,
Brooklyn Nets versus Dallas Mavericks,
A Kevin Durant (KD) and Luka Doncic contest!
Blessed!
