JOE’S JOLLY

Excerpt from SkyLand News
Author - Dean Darcey

The Boeing looked magnificent
A sight for all to see
And by this time tomorrow
She would be in Waikiki.

Festivities were under way
The conversation loud
And no one saw the small and furtive figure
In the crowd.

And who could have suspected
As they tossed the bubbly down
He would soon have the title
“The Most Famous Man in Town”.

For this was Joe Arazi
Known from Wewak to Manumu
The man who would make history
On the flight to Honolulu.

The terminal was brightly lit
With posters it was plastered
A desperate plan formed in his mind
“I’ll get on board this bastard”.

Bert Wickham with his gun and club
Looked like a former Nazi.
Our hero muttered to himself,
“He won’t stop Joe Arazi”.

As Joe munched on his chicken wings
And drained glass after glass
He mingled with the revelers
And pinched a boarding pass.

Now Joe had long desired this trip
And he didn’t wish to spoil it
To guarantee his privacy
He’d travel in the toilet.

Perhaps he would have pulled it off
And nothing found amiss
Except for people screaming
“Christ I’m busting for a piss”.

Now Garry, when he heard the news
He nearly had a chunder
For he was horror stricken
At Bert Wickham’s latest blunder.

“A stowaway” he cried in rage
“This surely is a stunt”
“Here take the stick, I’m going back
To kill the little             “

So Joe was frog-marched down the aisle
His face a mask of bliss
“You really must forgive me Sir -
You see I’m full of piss”.

So Joe came back to PNG
His character with stains
He said “Don’t go economy
You do the trip in chains”.

So Joe was marched in under guard
To face the great Joe Wal
Said Joe, “I’ll go with Qantas next
Your rooms are too small”.

So tourists all, when you next fly
No matter where you go
Don’t stuff around with airline staff
Be sure to book through Joe.
