SFO Airport Adventures


Oh the things that you'll see in the airport with me
you'll see pints of loose change in those security lanes
you'll see princess jasmine's dad in his splendor so rad
you'll see people with pugs who think they are smug
and boys who play soccer and guys who look like Bob Barker.

you'll see workers and travelers and folks young and old
you'll see sad folks and mad folks and folks with a cold
you'll see holes in their socks and rocks in their holes
you'll see asians and hindus and people from poles
you'll see rich people, poor people, and all in between
and when it comes time to board you'll see people preen.
and when you're trip's over and you've come and gone
you'll laugh at the strange stories you wrote at the dawn.


Disclaimer:  This is the result of a 4 hour delayed flight from SFO to Pasco, WA this past weekend.  Somewhere around 1am when I was delirious and trying to stay away so as to not miss the 25th new boarding time of the evening. . .I started rhyming my people watching and picturing my fellow traveling companions as caricatures in a Dr. Seuss book.   Although I seriously really truely did see a Sultan looking fellow who had on the exact same clothes as Princess Jasmine's dad from Aladdin, he just had a black beard instead of white.
