The moviehouse was filled to the rafters <br />on most Saturday afternoons with kids <br />yelling and running up the aisles <br /> <br />A western was usually unreeling <br />on the screen so that gunfire <br />and thundering hooves <br />syncopated to the music <br />generated holiday madness <br /> <br />Herds of kids burst out the doors <br />satiated by hours of screenplay <br />and rough housing and catcalling - <br />a kid's saturnalia and revelry <br />no school tomorrow either!<br /><br />Michael Pruchnicki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saturnalia-matinee/
