A tale of two kitties

There once were two kitties
One of them black
And one of them calico
Who flew by United and Lufthansa
To Moscow in winter
Then wished to fly back

They first flew in December
And no one complained
They flew with two bookings
And no one complained
Two kitties
Two seats
And one man

Lufthansa took their money
Smiled and agreed
United took their money
Smiled and agreed
And no one complained
Sent them two emails
Two kitties
Two seats
And one man
Lufthansa promising
“Nonstop you”

But then came September
Twas time to fly home
He bought them new tickets
And United agreed
Lufthansa agreed

They went to the airport
Two kitties
And their Dad
Two kitties
Two seats
Two tickets
And one man
But one woman blocked them
Would not let them fly
She broke the contract
Falsely citing a non-existent pet policy
“One pet per person”
Which was false
Untrue
Imaginary
Outrageous
And wrong

The man opened his laptop
To show her the bookings
To show her the real policy
But she turned a blind eye
Ignored the truth
And stood her ground
Marking them as “no shows”
After three hours of arguing

The man called up United
Who saved the day
Rebooking them from Munich
Just as before
Two kitties
Two seats
And one man

They boarded the night train
From Bucharest to Budapest
Two kitties
Two seats
And one man
And then on to Munich
With five bags
And a guitar
A very long journey
Of nine hundred miles
And many euros

Unlike Lufthansa
United was gracious
And honored the bookings
And fulfilled the contract
Unlike Lufthansa
They kept their promise
Unlike Lufthansa
They welcomed us all
Two kitties
Two seats
And one man
Flying us home
Unlike Lufthansa
“nonstop you”
