Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Once Again

I like to read a book just once,
No matter how I like it;
So when I finish, from my list,
I’ll go ahead and strike it.

The same applies to Broadway shows – 
One time is quite enough;
If I go back again, it seems
It’s just not up to snuff.

For movies, though, this won’t apply,
Or certain TV shows.
When favorites hit the screen, I’m glued;
That’s just the way it goes.

Today I went against my rule,
(A habit I should fix)
So we saw “Once” a second time
(My husband had cheap tix).

It reaffirmed that I should always
Take my own advice,
For seeing “Once” just once was great;
I overdosed on twice.

Robert Johnson November 7, 2014 at 3:16 PM Just as clever as can be. Once again you've out done yourself when you write of what you see. Peace. :)

Gry Christensen November 5, 2014 at 8:09 PM Very cute and funny! Some movies I can watch again and again, to the point I know each line. LOL

Casarah Nance November 5, 2014 at 5:39 PM Hehee, Somethings, you are right, once is enough. Your humor is so sweet and fun, I love reading you :)

Jan Allison November 5, 2014 at 5:25 PM love the humour here Ilene - I usually fall asleep at the cinema so seeing a film twice would be useless lol:-) Hugs Jan xx
