Poem Title:
Poem
This was released before many of you were alive. It was picked as Best Picture of nineteen fifty-five. The Best Actor Oscar was earned by one who would be later known on television in "McHale's Navy". Its title is the same as the main character's name. He was a single, thirty-something man who felt shame for why he was not married, and did not have a wife. His lack of success with women was hurting his life. His mother always hoped to make her son a bridegroom. She suggested that he visit the Stardust Ballroom. So he went there with a friend on a Saturday night. As his mother said, there were lots of women in sight. However, as he stood there, he would be filled with fright. A dance refusal from a woman did not feel right. Suddenly, another guy stuck with a bad blind date met him with a proposal that would insinuate that he take the blind date home so that her man could leave. This was something our main character could not believe. The guy's sudden departure left the poor girl in tears. This event made our hero overcome all his fears. He followed her out to the fire escape by chance. When he met her, he politely asked her for a dance. So the man of this story spent the rest of his night, with this unattached woman who would prove a delight! If you would like to know the rest of this fine story, all I would have to say is, "Go and see the movie"!
