Uber alle at John Wayne Airport

To kill a monopoly takes a lot of work and a lot of time
So many barriers and steps to climb
Uber and Lyft have declared war on Yellow Cab and its sky high fares
So much cheaper rates and a better experience to share
No need to carry a lot of cash
A better chance a driver speaks English and will not crash
John Wayne now Uber to pick up at the airport permits
Lower costs to passengers to now commit
Riding a cab should not be the equivalent of taking a mortgage out
When getting to one’s destination safely is often in grave doubt
While the fares for cabs are sky high
The drivers trying to make a living barely get by
Over five hundred a week charge a driver must pay
For the privilege of a yellow cab logo to display
Good for John Wayne Airport and hearty accolades
Another step in monopolies to degrade
