PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You know it’s best

to dine before heading

off to the airport

Hunger pangs don’t mesh well

with the ennui

of a 2 hour delay

and you end up

in an overpriced airport bar

The beer will burn

a hole in junior’s college fund

and even the value items

are hardly that

You get a burger

to tide you over
for a 6 hour flight

and it will be decent

but never great

You ask for hot sauce

instead of ketchup

and it will be a generic brand

but the eye gouge is gratis

at least I always feel

like I’ve been gouged
