Newark Airport

A friend of mine just called me Since her flight has been delayed, With Newark messing up the plans So many folks have made. I do not live in Jersey So this airport isn’t mine, But it isn’t far and all its problems Somehow crossed the line. Construction on the runways Made United cancel flights And controllers walking off the job Brought danger to new heights. Equipment failures add a new Dimension to this scourge And to worsen this fiasco, There’s some rain about to surge. My friend’s flight was rerouted To an airport close to me And I hope she gets to fly today, But there’s no guarantee.
