Carrie, I absolutely adored this one AND the movie scene it depicts!! YOu were using 9 syllables instead of 8 or ten all the way thru, although it worked out really well for you. And sometimes "approximate rhyme" for the end lines. I swear, if this had been written exactly to form, it would have been FOR SURE in the top three! Luv, Andrea

Carrie, seems we have similar tastes in movies - another one of my all time favorites. I won't tell those who are not familiar with this scene that he doesn't say "Oh nooooo" - something similar, but not "no". Great entry. Good luck with it, Joe
