Coming Attractions

You get to the movies And find a good seat. Perhaps you have purchased Some popcorn to eat. The lights start to dim But there’s no satisfaction, ‘Cause now you will see The first coming attraction. There used to be two of them, Possibly three; But now there’s no telling How many there’ll be. I lost count at six Though I’m sure there were more; And unless you walk out, They are hard to ignore. I like these small snippets And hate to complain. When so many are shown, though, They drive you insane. So studio people, I urge you – be smart: When the theater lights dim, Let the darn movie start!
