Victor Navorsky

                                 

A man came to NY JFK Airport 

From a distant land of Krakozhia 

He carried two bags and a tin can 

They called him Victor Navorsky 

When the entry visa was denied 

Navorsky was stranded at the airport 

He had no friends or next of kin 

Became solitary among thousands of people 

Now he is many miles away from home 

Could not return home due to heavy fighting 

Had no salvage what so ever 

Until he met a flight attendant from the United Airlines 

Navorsky was waiting 

So as the flight attendant Amelia 

In the long run 

Everybody is waiting 

The Republic of Krakozhia 

May be a fictitious land 

Or victor Navorsky never lived 

But one thing is sure 

Life is waiting
