SCAREPORTS

Are airports all the same?
Because I think its one big game,
Young women on a fashion crusade
Their charms for the beach
Already displayed.
Lads in garish shorts
And stupid straw hats,
With muscle vests
Just to show off their tatts.
Girls in the tightest white jeans
And obvious sprayed tan,
Tottering about in high heeled shoes
Is looking ridiculous the plan?
The well heeled
Their heavy make up congeled,
Uplifted nose, trout pout
Expensive perfume wafting about
Oh just look at you!!!!
Bulgari to Jimmy Choo
Pretentious twats!!!
I want to shout.
A raffle for a fancy sports car
Food on a conveyor
In a sushi bar,
Not on your nelly
I don't want an upset belly
When I've got to travel for miles.
Girls with fake smiles
Promoting whisky or gin
Immaculate pencil skirt, so thin
Have a free taste
Non will go to waste,
Some fool will always buy.
A child will cry
They can't sit still
That coke will spill,
Oh dear! What a mess
Ruined moms best travel dress,
Dads nerves beginning to strain.
Dressing up to catch a plane?
Always the same sights
Whatever the flight,
You must make the grade
On this fashion parade,
Dreadlocked hippies lay around
Japanese women making no sound,
With their hand luggage, Vuitton
Latest camera from Nikon
And of course the cabin crew staff.
They're always good for a laff
Bright red lips being the norm
With brilliantly pressed uniform,
So many aimlessly milling
The scareports coffers filling
You buy things you don't need
Is it stupidity or greed?
God only knows
But, alas it just shows
We're just part of a captive game
As they are all the same.
Airports are scareports
And we're all to blame.
