Double Feature Attractive Attractions
The Workshop Collection
It is always hard for me to admit that
About a legendary 1970’s pink cat
Pussy footing along
Singing its own song
Not knowing what is going on
Especially when there is a crisis with a bomb
In order to solve this criminal thefty gem
Act like gentlemen
Inspect the scene
Staged by a fiend
Do not forget,
‘Trip every other step’
Making the mischievous upset
Getting caught, wanna bet
Enthusiastic audiences enjoying confuses
Paying for comical amuses
Peter or Steve
Who do you believe?
Blake Edwards’ side?
Or the modern-day ‘well excuse me guy’?
During the satirical affair
Such a credible delightful dare
That both Sellers and Martin did share
As for me
Reflecting sipping a creative cup of tea
Another character performed the evil catching deed
Getting the girl
Elusive with pearls
Playing gaming games
Using identification number names
Outsmarting the International crooks
All written from someone’s book
A novel penned
From way back when
our nation drafted us to defend
Moving images, we said ‘really cool’
Protagonists photographed by the wading pool
Antagonists ended up the fool
Marveling at all the action
Luring attraction
We sat in the movie house
Quiet as a mouse
Memorized by a big screen
Celluloid pictures the projector did beam
Credits appeared signaling everything done
Ending a day relaxing and fun
Laughing at the Sellers one
And cheering the suited secret agent on the run
For the most part
It was a start
Engaging with the unspooling reel
Only a couple dollar ticket deal
Matinees always a steal
Now where are Clouseau and Bond
Promoted inside the Chinese theater backdrop featuring Tom?
Galaxy cruising?
Fantasy ride choosing?
Never refusing?
Bringing things back down to earth
For what it is worth
Please tighten our society girth
Climbing aboard our investment stock
Monitoring the immortal clock
Going tick tick tock
Until sounding the boom
Allowing venturing way past the moon
Entering heaven
Where Sean receives the immortal seven
Asked hit or hold
From Roger who was ever so bold
We were told
Observing the illusional filled flick
Using the GQ studio talent pick
They are here
Since they threw a peaceful spear
Developing discussion
About the Russian
When things were cold
Nuclear War could make us all fold
As for the feline who sparkled in pink
Surviving not sleeping a wink
A diamond in the rough
Sudden giggles produced from those who were tough
Bringing them back to an age
When they earned minimum wage
Escaping from the adolescent cage
Loiter in the dreamer’s theater
Or be a reader
Of fine fiction
It could be an addiction
When stories come alive
Buzzing in the cinematic beehive
Search the library imagination stack
Pass the goodies and snack
While forgetting about reality, where the world is getting attacked
