Plans foiled by striking traffic control
We steam in the departure lounge
Soaking up unwanted drinks
Fed with the vilest food.
This holiday lark
Might be better
Enjoyed by
Staying
Home!

I agree. Most airports have all the ambience of a hospital emergency room. The food is terrible and overpriced, the seats are uncomfortable. and every one is anxious to get going. I'm sorry your trip was a bust but thank you for this poem. Good luck in this contest. Peace, Liz
