Going To the Movies

As an avid movie fan, I loved to go and see A film the day it opened And my husband would agree. We’d meet up on a Friday night; I held our place in line And once inside, we’d scope out seats And they did not recline! We brought our snacks or maybe splurged On popcorn, butter-drenched And stayed until the credits rolled, Both thoroughly entrenched. It changed for me when seats became The big recliner types And choosing seating in advance Was one of many gripes. The lure for me was mostly gone When Covid hit the scene And now it’s likely I will never Watch a film on screen. At home, relaxed, I get to see The movies Netflix makes And if I miss some I can’t see, I feel like – them’s the breaks!
