And their complaints numbered in the thousands,

and then tens of thousands,

and then hundreds of thousands.

***

Crying out in a loud voice they said

“Oh Lord, remove this plague of noise and pollution from above our heads.”

And the FAA said:

“For sooth. This has not happened before within our short memories. Why did the communities never before complain?”

And the Air Traffic Control angels replied saying:

“Verily, the number of aircraft popping out of our bottom in ancient times were few. But now the number doth wax greatly.”
