Bedford Falls

George Bailey taking the icy plunge,
Clarence saved him being his guardian,
a close call,
for Bedford Falls,
saved town from tyrannical bug,

The heartwarming scene at the end,
where townsfolk contribute a dividend,
hearing a ring,
angel got his wings,
poor Uncle Billy's pink slip pending,

George's life finally on the upswing,
till Uncle Billy forgot one more thing,
work in his briefs,
townsfolk red cheeks,
indecent attire thrown in the clink.

Every Christmas season they play "Its a Wonderful Life" about 100 times; I'm surprised I don't know the movie by heart! It is a classic that I admit I love though! Huggerdas back~Che

Aah, it's a wonderful life is it not, Cheryl. Funny poem, but coming from you, it's no surprise that I'm laughing and smiling so much. You always can touch my funny bone. A hilarious poem too. Love and best wishes this holiday season.

Thanks so much Freddie; I just often wonder what happens to George and his family after the ending of the movie…especially forgetful Uncle Billy, lol! Thanks for very kind comment & love & best wishes to you this holiday season as well~Che
