'Twas in another lifetime
Before masking a lifeline
Where sun of the face
Didn't result in disgrace
And resultant monetary fine

OK, little sentimental...
Once there was a son who learned how to travel
Oh the sights he’d see & marvel
Never turned right in his young life
Thankfully, he dosent yet have a wife
He never got to share the trip from FNT > PNN
Pepe used the loud pedal - never again!
Gadgets galore; tales of yore
When we will ever see the likes again
Aye; Eightblack & his pen

I’m sick OF my home cooking,
I’m sick FROM her home cooking,
Alas, my waist is not better looking.
____________
Isolated to 600 Sq. Ft.
30 stories above
The view is great
But we need a date!
__________
I’ve not played golf
My hair is shaggy
Maybe I’m better off a caddie

I love that the haiku purists have hitched a ride with the limerick authors. All are welcome on this flight. Welcome aboard.
Also like so many, I love a 747. For every more, she will be the most majestic. Sitting in her nose with the galley somewhere behind, it's an exclusive ride.

I wish for better cognition
on iPhone’s facial recognition
Masked, but with a code
Allowing me to up-load
Updates on my spacial condition

Bonus Round Coverage (Not official entry):
With COVID, we're home all day,
Accepting our lockdown through May,
But things keep on breaking,
That aren't of our making,
Constantly looking for repairmen to pay
and continued bonus round coverage (Not official entry),
We lavishly spend on food and travel, getting points,
First Class travel, like a king, anoints,
But there will be no lie flats,
Or tatami mats,
Because COVID has closed most of our joints.
