Each thousand miles I fly
accumulates a Frequent Flyer point
and when I’ve earned one hundred thousand
I can, other bookings permitting,
use them for a one-way flight from Sydney
to Melbourne so long as I leave
before five a.m. and do not return –
ever.
This mighty effort to win points
produces ‘sweat of the brow,’
a fluid regarded highly in many religions
and sung about in hymns of praise
as pleasing to the Lord, a consequence
of Adam’s sin capitalised upon
by industrialists and planters who own slaves
declared as such or otherwise.
QANTAS therefore should feel free
to place small squares of gold leaf
as Buddhists do in Thailand
to acquire virtue
on the skins of their planes
making it obvious to all who fly
how attuned they are to
heaven being within reach at 30,000 feet
and that the preparation of its passengers,
through the currency of Frequent Flyer points,
with sufficient merit to land there
is
their real first priority.
