36. Airports

At Sea-Tac, they made it quite clear,
No partisan vids will play here.
Though flights may be late,
They won't take the bait—
They'd rather stay neutral than smear.

In Phoenix, they gave it a pass,
Noem's blame-game just wouldn’t amass.
They said with a frown,
"Let's cool the shutdown—
Our concourse won't echo that sass."

New York’s Westchester won’t play the tape,
Though travelers may need escape.
“Too hot,” they all said,
“To pump through our thread—
We're keeping things fair in this scape.”

Now Portland, as cool as they come,
Said “Politics? No, we want none.”
They cited the laws,
And partisan flaws—
And shut off the screen with aplomb.

In Buffalo, calm in the storm,
They’ve chosen to break from the norm.
No messages skewed,
No DHS feud—
Just keeping the peace is their form.

TSA and Homeland stayed mum,
As questions from pressrooms did come.
No answers, no spin,
Just silence within—
While airports said, “We won’t play dumb.”
