A Poem, Delivered From Tokyo's Narita Airport

Alas! Columbia's Promise Unfulfilled

by Diamondrock

I beg you friends to listen

To a story not yet past

Of a long epic journey

That just will not go by fast

The scene: Narita Airport

Our hero: good Diamondrock

The enemy a monster!

A brutal unmoving clock

Desperate to see his homeland

Its beautiful shining shore

A layover: six hours

Doubled to six hours more!

A friend found unexpected

Ally worthy of the Bard's!

The way they know to waste time

By playing with Magic cards

Half time gone; companion lost

Diversion was found and bought:

A crappy Star Trek novel

Starring villain Gul Dukat

Still, four hours left to waste

Then twelve hours of the flight

Can man survive such evil?

Know he strives with all his might!

The end will come, dear listener

So pray to Saint Maria

That our hero sees The Dark Knight

In our dear Columbia!
