I care about these people. <br />That's why I can say I like it. <br /> <br />I care about them... <br />And their display of a 'through thick and thin', <br />Economic slimness done. <br />I like the way they handle it. <br />And the joy expressed by everyone. <br /> <br />Even their next door neighbors... <br />Seem for them to be the best of friends, <br />I like how they all participate... <br />With a display of caring, <br />That appears to me to be genuine. <br /> <br />I care about these people. <br />Even their dogs and cats. <br />Look at the birds and butterflies... <br />Don't they seem to have sparkle in their eyes? <br /> <br />The crispness of the clouds... <br />Appear to float in skies of blue. <br />The mixture of the races too, <br />All have... <br /> <br />'If you say another thing... <br />I swear to you I am going to go 'off'! <br />Close your mouth and silence your lips.' <br /> <br />Excuse me? <br />Nobody's talking to you! <br /> <br />'Nobody should be talking 'period'. <br />I paid fourty eight dollars for my family and I <br />To watch this movie. <br /> <br />Can we hear it? <br />NO! <br />Can we enjoy it... <br />NO! <br />And you know WHY DAMNIT? <br />BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING... <br />THROUGH THE WHOLE THING! <br /> <br />SO SHUT UP SO WE CAN ENJOY IT... <br />OR ELSE! ' <br /> <br />Okay, okay, okay! <br />But put the gun away. <br />I get the picture. <br /> <br />~Sir, <br />We are going to have to ask you to leave. <br />The police have been called. <br />And you have created quite a disturbance here! ~ <br /> <br />'ME? ME? <br />What about him? ' <br /> <br />~Sir... <br />He is not the one screaming, <br />With a gun in his hand! <br />Please... <br />Leave.~ <br /> <br />That's exactly why I don't go to movies like I use to. <br />People think they can do anything and get away with it! <br /> <br />Well, <br />Anyway... <br />I care about these people. <br />That's why I can say I like it. <br /> <br />I care about them... <br />And their display of a 'through thick and thin', <br />Economic slimness done. <br />I like the way they handle it. <br />And the joy expressed by everyone.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
