Once Again
I like to read a book just once,
No matter how I like it;
So when I finish, from my list,
I’ll go ahead and strike it.
The same applies to Broadway shows –
One time is quite enough;
If I go back again, it seems
It’s just not up to snuff.
For movies, though, this won’t apply,
Or certain TV shows.
When favorites hit the screen, I’m glued;
That’s just the way it goes.
Today I went against my rule,
(A habit I should fix)
So we saw “Once” a second time
(My husband had cheap tix).
It reaffirmed that I should always
Take my own advice,
For seeing “Once” just once was great;
I overdosed on twice.
