Notes About The Poem
Movie: It's a Wonderful Life
He’s Never Been Born
Eustace and Matilda “Tilly”
not as noticed as silly Billy.
Quirky Baileys, too,
but their uncle dropped the metaphorical shoe.
It’s a wonderful life
except for the strife.
Potter, “the old fart,”
is evil at heart.
Uncle Billy with knots on his fingers
too long, he lingers,
bragging, that he wraps cash
in a newspaper mishmash.
On a bridge too far,
taking responsibility from the “nut bar,”
George is set to step off,
until with an angel, he’s face-off.
Water is love,
when given a shove,
like when the floor split,
and the Charleston was a hit.
An Angel second class,
without wings, makes a splash.
George seemingly saves the old guy,
but “he’s never been born,” in the blink of an eye.
This heartwarming movie has whistles and bells.
In a small town dwells
evil and good. You can tell which wins.
To see the end, you must watch where it begins.
A must watch for me, every Christmas!
