An Ode to Monorail Footers: A Poetry Contest

There once was a Darth named Tater,
Who always stayed at MK 'til later.
Every time he exited the park,
It was usually well after dark.
Yet back when he left one night,
He knew something felt not right.
As crowds were piled all around,
He realized the monorail was down.
Darth decided to not make a fuss,
And waited patiently for the bus.
Why was the monorail down that night,
Which caused the crowds to scorn, & fight?
The reason announced at WDWMagic next day,
A monorail expansion was on the way!
DHS & DAK would soon be connected,
Like so many hopefuls eagerly expected.
Footers were spotted; workers ready to build,
The monorail prophecy would soon be fulfilled!
ALL parks, ALL resorts, connected by track,
To take guests to where they needed and back.
Life would be easy, life would be grand,
To be fully monorail-accessible, just like Disneyland.
Footers appeared; mapping the route,
In a matter of days, track pieces laid out.
The project moved smoothly; at a very fast rate,
Soon to be revealed, an opening date.
The track taking form; the new trains arriving,
With this new expansion, WDW would be thriving.
"Four Parks - One World" was set to be the theme,
For the realization of this monorail dream.
With all the excitement, one thing was clear:
The dawn of a new monorail era was near.
Just when the project was on it's last leg,
A decision was made by our good friend Meg.
TDO wasn't happy with all this spending,
The monorail dream would soon be ending.
They pulled all the funding; stopped the project dead,
And decided to add more meet & greet's instead.
So ends my monorail story; an expansion which never came,
But look on the bright side...we get more interactive games!

There was an old blackbird
Just flying all about.
Hidden footings was what we heard
This info met with doubt.
The bird was asked was this in store,
Would Monorails be adding on
or has this all been lore?
The answer saddened, that's for sure,
cause...Quoth the Raven, Never More!

That's not in poetic form.
"If you had wings, If you had wings, If you had wings, had wings, had wings," sang this song in trans-like hypnotics - echoing, playing - louder, louder!
"You do have wings."
"I do have wings!"
"The WHOLE world... Is yours!"
"All of it?"
"Yes, ALL of it!"
I was flabbergasted, confused.
"Please watch your step! The platform is moving at the same speed as the vehicle. Please hold on to the guardrail and exit to the left," a female voice announced over the megaphone.
Was I in heaven? Could be. White all over. Clouds. Counter service.
"You can book your flight any where in the world," a lady who obviously time warped from the 60's told me from behind the counter.
This must be where we get our wings, I thought.
"Lisbon, London, Barsolona, Madrid, Morroco?" the angelic flight attendant from the other side of the counter politely asked, smiling.
The room turned dark. A God-like voice echoed the chamber. "You DO have wings," it said.
The voice continued: "You do have wings... With mono-rail and you can travel the world, the Walt Disney World!"
"I can?" I asked, excitedly.
"Yes, and we've planeted footers!"
"Footers? What's that?"
"They're these things you wear... Never mind, that's not important right now..."
"OK"
"You must water these footers twice a day for the next 40 years!"
"Forty years?"
"Yes, and the monorail expand and grow!"
"All I have to do is water it?"
"May the Force Be With You!"
"
"You do have wings."
