Movies

Saturdays I went to the movies
Double features cartoons candy bars
Popcorn in boxes perfect
For flattening to toss across
The camera's flickering light
As cowboys marines and super heroes
Taught invaluable lessons
About life and liberty
A kiss or two but never love
When the hero rode into the sunset
Or shook hands with his buddy
After the evil forces of the wild west
World War II and outer space
Were duly and fairly extinguished
To our raucous cheers and clapping
And might and right seemed the same
