"Picture perforated"

I zipped into office
And with the same speed zipped out,
Grabbed my money and keys
And let out a loud shout..

"Clear the way, call the cab"
I must get going fast,can't be late,
Need to make it there by 2pm
And read the writings of fate..

My cab pulled up, huffing and puffing I ran
Stared at the officer by the door,
He just stood there like a dummy
A stiff face, a mere bore..

Determined to make myself heard
I spoke to him loud and clear,
Told him my purpose of visit
Even cracked a joke in good cheer..

"I'm here for collection, coupon and all
As much on time as I can be",
Not seeming convinced, he yawned
So I thrust my watch in his face to see..

Signalling me to pause
No partiality, firm to the core,
He gave me a look absurd, "calm down"
Which planet I came from, he wasn't sure..

A 15 minute wait, finally I was ushered in
Through the many gates of steel,
The ordeal was all forgotten, forgiven
When I saw the exotic ten year deal..

Without a plane ticket in hand
And my holiday still being 2 weeks away,
I soar the skies, no airport in sight
'Coz I got my licence to fly today..

Reminds me of the time I collected my VISA
I was on cloud nine.
and I got my visa a day before I left.Transit at Seattle. I remember jumping for joy and even falling infront of all in terminal.
NYC is a great place. I'm sure u would have fun.
And I cant think of putting anything more in the list of things to bring back.:)

Cheers
