Adventures In Childrearing

Mad Max and the Thunderdome
 Matinee at the brand new  cine
money for tickets but little else
Indeed we had not any

my purse the repository 
Each a burger and coke
finding the theater empty
Look it's ours,in union spoke

Finding a tier of few chairs 
Simultaneously we plopped
Only to find them unbolted to floor
As our secreted foodstuffs we dropped

Onions flagrantly scenting the air
Our toes to the ceiling
Without any flair
cans of coke rolling away without care 

Hurriedly jumping to feet
Scrambling contraband to secrete
Cat back in the bag before usher arrived
Offering free popcorn, SAAWEET.

what a lovely vignette into life's routines gone astray....all corners nicely covered one of those you never read in the daily news that makes life remember what it is all about...happenstance rules the chaos we cherish at times from a distance...loved it

My late wife always took an onion sandwich to the cinema to ensure no one sat in front of her . . . . Enjoyed! Aloha!
