Fancy

The movie theater’s fancy now; Its leather seats recline And there is more than popcorn offered If you’d like to dine. So we sat down, leaned back and thus On footrests placed our feet, Until somebody came along And said, “You’re in my seat!” For now you can reserve a spot Like at a Broadway show. I think for cinema, that’s not The way it ought to go. I liked the old style so much more – You plopped down anyplace As long as no one’s coat was there To claim it as his space. The floor was sticky, leg room tight And if somebody tall Was seated right in front of you, You couldn’t see at all. But now the chairs are lush and large And naturally, not cheap; Unless the movies’ really good, I might just fall asleep!
