Ode To Steven Spielberg

Your films have fascinated

Fans of all ages and left us all

With jubilant smiles.

We filled the theatres

After waiting in lines that stretched for miles.

You scared us to pieces with a mechanical shark

And thrilled us to no end with Indy's quest for the Ark.

You captured our hearts

With an alien left behind 

And opened our eyes to dinosaurs vs. mankind.

You moved us to tears with Schindler's plight 

And made us look at the beaches of Normandy in a harsh new light.

From Drew to Dakota

And from Harrison to both Toms,

You have directed the best with aplomb.

Your success is a tribute

To your gift as an artist with film as your canvas.

We eagerly await Indy's next globe trotting quest

With a fedora and an atlas.
