Sitting at the airport
Mid-afternoon
Watching parents with kids
One father
four kids in tow
settles his gaggle
In a nearby row of chairs
His littlest son
whispers in his ear
The father sighs
“Come on, everybody”
Off they march
Like good little soldiers
In single file
Ten minutes later
They return
The bathroom mission
Clearly accomplished
