Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Frankly Scarlet

Clark Gable Vivian Leigh,
both have a place in history.
If we look back is it true that he sinned?
His words have survived, they haven't "Gone With The Wind".

Nineteen thirty nine the world was in shock,
all those who heard him couldn't help but talk.
They said the countries morals were in disrepair,
now people say what they want and don't really care.

Now entertainment is almost censor free,
you can say what you want and see what you see.
I guess in the end we really don't give a damn,
we say we all care but we don't take a stand.

Richard D Seal August 30, 2013 at 7:07 PM I still take a stand Rick, if anyone is over indulging in the swearing I ask em tio tone it down. Amazes me how the women put up with it. I'm sure it's the influence of the movies at fault here. This is a splendid write, truth and great message. Take care, Richard Richard Lamoureux September 9, 2013 at 3:40 PM Good for you Richard. Thanks for commenting.

Lucilla Carrillo August 20, 2013 at 5:15 PM I love this Richard. It is so true. He was fined $ 5.000 for saying those words. Now they say what they want and don't cost them a cent. Thanks for sharing. .. Lucilla Richard Lamoureux August 20, 2013 at 7:10 PM Wow that was even more of a fortune back then.

Thanks for reviving my memory . Richard Lamoureux August 17, 2013 at 3:13 PM I was surprised to learn it came out in 1939, pretty amazing quality of film.

Andrea Dietrich August 17, 2013 at 11:33 AM you did a good job with this one, Richard. I am liking these "I don't give a damn " entries!! About the restroom stops, I can't go more than three hours usually without having a restroom break and our average travel time each day on vacation was twelve hours. haha Richard Lamoureux August 17, 2013 at 3:14 PM I guess I would have to stop at least once, *lol*.
