A MEMORABLE ENDING

WHAT IS A MEMORABLE ENDING

HOW MANY DO YOU RECALL

I GUESS IT IS DEPENDING

IF YOU PAID ATTENTION AT ALL

 

I WATCH SO MANY MOVIES

I TEND TO GET LOST IN THEM

DON'T ASK ME HOW THEY ENDED PLEASE

I TEND TO BE TOO ZEN

 

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

IS AN ENDING I RECALL

THERE'S RARELY A VOICE OVER ACTOR

SO YOU DON'T HEAR IT MUCH AT ALL

Author's Notes/Comments: 

THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS WAS AN EMAIL SUBJECT THAT SAID DOES YOUR SCRIPT HAVE A MEMORABLE ENDING....NOT EVEN SURE HOW I WAS ON THEIR EMAIL LIST....I NEVER EVEN WROTE A SCRIPT....I WAS THINKING I HAD WATCHED SOMETHING RECENTLY...I THINK IT WAS BILOXI BLUES AND I THOUGHT THE ENDING WAS CLEVER AND I THINK I EVEN MENTIONED IT ON FB MAYBE...THAT WAS ONLY  MAYBE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS NOW SO  I GUESS IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A MEMORABLE ENDING....CUZ I DON'T REMEMBER IT...HA HA...I WATCH WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE A LOT AND I REMEMBER THEY GO OFF IN THE TRAILER WITH A GIRL AND HER GRANDMA THEY MET WHO TRAVEL ALL OVER...DURING THE MOVIE IT CAME UP QUITE A BIT WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE SO IT STUCK WITH ME THEY FINALLY DID GO SOMEWHERE...BUT THAT IS THE ONLY ENDING I REMEMBER NOW...I AM LUCKY IF I REMEMBER IF I LIKED A MOVIE OR NOT OR SAW IT OR NOT...I WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES....EVEN IF I REALLY  LOVE A MOVIE I RARELY REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW IT ENDED APPARENTLY....

 

I HAVE BEEN RACKING MY BRAIN FOR AWHILE  NOW AND I AM PRETTY SURE THE MAIN CHARACTER SAYS LIFE IS WEIRD...AT THE VERY END OF  BILOXI BLUES. I REMEMBER REPLYING...YEP IT SURE IS... I GOTTA WATCH IT AGAIN AND FIND OUT OR GOOGLE IT MAYBE OR  JUST FAST FORWARD IT TO THE END OF THE MOVIE TO FIND OUT FOR SURE...I WAS THINKING  LIFE SOMETHING AND THEN THOUGHT LIFE IS WEIRD SOUNDED ABOUT RIGHT...I WILL BE BACK TO CONFIRM OR DENY AFTER I FIND OUT FOR SURE...IF IT DOESN'T TAKE ME TOO LONG AND I FORGET ABOUT IT....JUST CHECKIN BACK IN...I WAS PRETTY DARN CLOSE...I JUST SCROLLED TO THE END OF THE MOVIE AND THE LAST LINE WAS....LIFE IS WEIRD YOU KNOW....

SOME WORDS

WHY DO SOME WORDS BOTHER YOU

WHEN YOU SEE OR HEAR THEM

COHORT BOTHERS ME IT'S TRUE

THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON

IT JUST RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY

THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY

Author's Notes/Comments: 

THAT PARTICULAR WORD JUST FEELS VULGAR TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHY...WEIRD I KNOW...

I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF BITING DOWN ON A SOAP BAR AS A KID FOR SAYING WORDS MY PARENTS THOUGHT WERE BAD AND THAT WORD WAS NOT ONE OF THEM...NO IDEA WHAT IT IS ABOUT IT THAT JUST RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY...YUCK...JUST YUCKY

MAYBE JUST KINDA WEIRD

DO YOU EVER SUSPECT

YOU MAY BE CRAZY

OR MAYBE JUST KINDA WEIRD

DO YOU NEED TO PROTECT

SUCH AN AMAZING

REVELATION THAT APPEARED

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

NEED TO PROTECT

COULD BE REPLACED BY

TEND TO PROJECT

GOING BACK N FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO

 

SOME STUFF IS PRETTY OBVIOUS NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU GO WITH THAT...HA HA

BEING HUMAN

BEING  HUMAN MAKES US ALL IMPERFECT BY DEFAULT

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

Author's Notes/Comments: 

JUST HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE DRAG RACING GOING ON OUT THERE...LOTS OF SCREECHING WHEEL SOUNDS...I GUESS THEY KNEW  HOW TO RACE CUZ I DIDN'T HEAR ANY CRASHING SOUNDS....THAT DISTRACTED ME FOR A BIT BEFORE POSTING THIS...THAT WAS WEIRD I JUMPED DOWN TO THIS SECTION AND FORGOT TO POST THE POEM I GOT A MESSAGE WHEN I TRIED TO SAVE IT ABOUT BODY BEING REQUIRED...HA HA...

ANYWAY IF YOU ARE ONE WHO SEEKS PERFECTION OR THINKS  THEY FOUND IT I DON'T WANNA BURST ANY BUBLES HERE HENCE THE GRAIN OF SALT RHYME...

TOO MANY FAIRY TALES

IF YOU FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY

YOU'RE NOT THE MARRYING KIND

FALL HARD AND FAST AND IT WON'T LAST

LEAVE ALL THAT NONSENSE BEHIND

YOU MAY BE IN LOVE WITH BEING IN LOVE

BUT NOT KNOW LOVE ITSELF

IT MAY BE INFATUATION

JUST IN YOUR IMAGINATION

THINKING THEY ARE THE PERFECT MATCH

WHEN IN FACT THERE MAY BE A CATCH

THE SIMPLE POSSIBILITY

SOMETIMES LOVE IS NOT MEANT TO BE

TOO MANY FAIRY TALES IN YOUR HEAD

MAY INDEED LEAVE YOU MISLEAD

DON'T BELIEVE ALL THAT YOU'VE READ

MAKE UP YOUR OWN STORY INSTEAD

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I LISTENED TO FIFTY FAMOUS FAIRY TALES ON AUDIBLE PRETTY RECENTLY...MOST I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE BUT I NOTICED A COMMON THREAD AMONG THEM ALL ENDING WITH BEING MARRIED AND LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER AS IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES A HAPPY ENDING WHEN IN FACT IT IS OFTEN QUITE THE OPPOSITE...I GUESS AT THE TIME THOSE FAIRY TALES WERE WRITTEN MARRIAGE WAS  SACRED AND YOU NEVER HEARD THE WORD DIVORCE...IT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST...THESE DAYS OF MULTIPLE MARRIAGES EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME AND NEVER WORKING ON ANY PROBLEMS JUST THROWING IT AWAY AND RUSHING INTO ANOTHER ONE HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT ENDING...WE LIVE IN A THROWAWAY SOCIETY. EVERYONE SEEMS TO EXPECT PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES AND PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS WHEN  JUST BEING HUMAN MAKES US ALL IMPERFECT...I DUNNO...ANYWAY THOSE WERE SOME THOUGHTS WHILE WRITING THIS.

NEVER SAY ALWAYS OR NEVER

NEVER SAY ALWAYS OR NEVER

ALWAYS AVOID THOSE TWO WORDS

FOR YOU  MAY FIND

THAT IN TIME

THE OPPOSITE MAY OCCUR

Author's Notes/Comments: 

ORIGINALLY SAID

YOU WILL FIND

THE OPPOSITE WILL OCCUR

BUT THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE

MAY  MAKES MORE SENSE

EARTH DAY PRAYER

GOD BLESS  MOTHER EARTH

SANCTIFY THE  PRECIOUS DIRT

AND WATER AND AIR

LET HER REPAIR

PROTECT HER FROM TOXINS

FROM IGNORANT HUMAN SINS

GOD PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

LET IT BE HEAVEN SENT

PROTECT THE PLANTS AND WILDLIFE

THAT ALL MAY HAVE A BETTER LIFE

LET DIVINE INTERVENTION SUPERCEDE

THE FOILS OF EVIL MEN'S GREED

DIVINE ORDER'S NEEDED FOR PLANET EARTH

RECOGNIZE HER PRECIOUS WORTH

STOP CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE

LORD HEAR THIS PRAYER

Author's Notes/Comments: 

EVERYDAY SHOULD BE EARTH DAY...WE WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THIS PLANET THAT WORKS SO HARD TO SUSTAIN ALL LIFE HERE DESPITE THE MANY STUPID ACTS OF STUPID HUMANS WHO CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER. DIVINE INTERVENTION IS NEEDED AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. WE CAN'T LET THINGS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. MAJOR CHANGE IS NEEDED. CORRUPTION NEEDS TO BE WIPED OUT FOR GOOD FOREVER. GOD BLESS US ALL.

INSPIRING

WE ALL HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

OUR OPINIONS THAT ARE REFLECTIVE

OF THE WAY WE EXPERIENCE THINGS

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS THAT THEY BRING

SO IT MAKES IT INTERESTING

WHEN WE ARE INVESTIGATING

THINGS THAT WE FIND FASCINATING

AND UPON ELABORATING

CAN OFTEN BE INSPIRING

 

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO 

YOU MAY BE INSPIRING

IT'S BEST I THINK TO 

JUST KEEP WRITING

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

INSPIRATION...GOTTA LOVE IT

 

THIS CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT I WAS JUST GONNA POST IN THE COMMENT HERE BUT DECIDED TO  ADD IT AS A SECOND SHORTER VERSE ABOVE....

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO 

YOU MAY BE INSPIRING

IT'S BEST I THINK TO 

JUST KEEP WRITING
