Please Tell Me: A Response to the Film 'Grown Ups'

Please tell me it’s summer every day of the year.

Please tell me that Aerosmith plays from the sky.

Please tell me that heaven’s a basketball court.

Please tell me that everyone’s life has a point.

Please tell me that no one is ever alone.

Please tell me that dying is easily explained.

Please tell me that broken birds get back their wings.

Please tell me the tooth fairy isn’t my mom.

Please tell me that people are just as they seem.

Please tell me “I’m sorry” is always enough.


Please, Adam Sandler, you loveable lout,

Tell me that everything always works out.
