IN THE MOVIE
In the movie near the start
We will make a scene
In which the family of the heroine
Is plain unfair and mean.
And in the movie when his bosses
Tell him flat out, “NO!”
On a lonely late night lakeshore stroll
We’ll have the hero go.
In the movie just as the
Cool kids have it figured out
We’ll have mystery baggage surface
And stir up all new doubt.
Then near the movie’s core
For the wise friend it’s a must
To advise something akin to,
“It’s apples to apples, crust to crust.”
In the movie “In the movie…”
The magic spell will be
For which the final battle’s fought,
Evil and Good, between.
Because whatever happens
A dose of “In the movie…”
Can turn any situation
Useful, funny, sad, or groovy.
SONG of SATURDAY
Clockventure, blockventure:
spend time to build towers.
Barefeetventure, carefreeventure:
no shoes means fun hours.
Dirtventures, wordventures:
dig a crossword a day,
Rockventure, dockventure:
anchors aweigh!
Of all size adventures:
“adbigs” to “adtads”
Only the nonventured ventures
are bad.

DEEP SEA PURPLE – Nothing says “weekend” quite like FDR having a smoke on the water. (Photog unknown)
THE COLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
It fell from a cloud
It fluttered around
From tree branch to garden,
All across town.
It hit the ground,
Was kicked back up
And floated onto
The wing of a duck.
A quack and a flap
Launched it again
On a skyward ride rarer
Than a tooth in a hen.
The view it had during
These falls and rises
Was chock fulla fun,
Adventure, surprises,
The real life kind sweeter
Than cookies or cake
That shows how cool it is
To be a snowflake.

Mmm, Mmm. Good.
M is the camel of letters
recognizable for its two humps.
Without them both, m would be n,
as in neasles,
conputer,
and nunps.
M comfortably takes on the task
of being the milestone
halfway on the road
through Alphabetowne
‘tween A’s aura and the Z-zone.
And though M sounds like
M starts with an e
– eh-hem –
that isn’t the case.
M is his own man:
A pivotal camel shaped pal
Midway through the race.
DON’T LOOK CLOSE: Look far. And you May just see an M in this iMage from
the Mellow Mushroom, Oak Street, New Orleans. YuMM.
