Political Posturing
Prompt: Have fun with these nine words: junket, exhibition, care, introduce, sketch, door. flock, wreck and discrimination.

I realised this week whilst watching the news, how many politicians are flying all over the world just now, and all of them in a hurry.
President Trump even did a rushed interview whilst poking his head around the door of the plane.
I know there’s a lot going on in the political realm and numerous countries’ leaders need to travel but I wondered how many of the flock are necessary and aren’t on a junket paid for by tax payers.

I enjoy watching the body language as they introduce themselves to each other. They take care not to make an exhibition of themselves by making some faux par which could appear the next day on the world’s media. The diplomats amongst them do what they do best by ensuring there’s no discrimination shown to anyone.
Air travel has never been a favourite mode of travel for me as I always look a wreck after flying. But I suppose the pollies always fly business class and can at least sleep. To pass the time I sketch people sleeping, often with mouths wide open.
