Wasting away at JFK

So, we've just returned from 4 days in New York. Was amazing, as predicted. Such a diverse, wonderful city. Anyway, on our way home we were delayed at JFK for 9 hours. No shit. They cancelled dozens of planes which led to a whole lotta pissed off passengers. I've never seen so many self-important douchebags in one place over the course of one day.

Anywho, during our wait, Dev wrote this little number and I liked it so much I thought I'd share:

The airport
I sit and wait for almost a day
The planes not here there’s been a delay
Purchasing overpriced food and drink
Gives me time to sit and think
About the world and what we are doing
How we consume the world we’re screwing
The buzz of caffeine is fading fast
I don’t know how long I am going to last
If the airline makes us wait any longer
I may give in to the constant hunger
And buy another magazine
To pass the time I wish to read
Of science, news and current affairs
Stimulating my mind and arm hairs
But instead I walk around
Taking in the sights and sound
Of other stressed airport victims
Hating the ineffective airway systems
The board now says we will leave at seven
And when we take off it will be heaven
But I put no stock in these proclamation
So I will just wait til we arrive at our destination
To finally breathe a sigh of relief
That we made finally it home in one piece
