With Kids in Tow

A Broadway show, with kids in tow, Is challenging, for sure. You must prepare for getting there, With hassles to endure. The car’s a pain, yet bus or train May cause you some delays; Then every street, on tired feet, Seems like you’re in a maze. And then the wait, which children hate, When hunger hits, or thirst; You buy some snacks, but can’t relax, For bladders might just burst. The bathroom line, with poor design, Means that the world expects That kids must learn to wait their turn; We tell them, “Almost next!” The dimming lights, at last, ignites Excitement from the crowd. The music blares and some it scares For it is just so LOUD! With luck you last, applaud the cast And head home with a smile, But hope your crew won’t ask that you Repeat this for a while.
