Video Store Asylum
So the video store clerk puts down his cigar and says
What's it gonna be?
Wipe the sweat off your upper lip and say - Too many choices
Can't decide what to see
You been in here two hours
Is this how you get your kicks?
Just hovering like a chopper browsing the DVD forest
Rather than actually taking it home and seeing a flick?
The fate of the world
Depends on this selection
Not really
Just a two hour sensation
Heart races, palms sweat
Thoughts of childhood race through the mind
Is it worth seeing?
Let me read the summary for the fifth time
The cover looks appealing
But a friend of a friend said it wasn't good
But the critics said it can't miss
Who to trust I never understood
What if I take it home?
And the store is lifted by aliens and suddenly disappears?
They'll take away my membership
The realization of our Sci-Fi (Aisle 3) fears
SIDE STANZA IN TRIBUTE:
(Poor clerk
Your cigar left unfinished
When the spacelings came
And rendered you vanished)
Didn't want to shell out the big bucks
When it was in the theaters
I'll wait for it on video
Are famous last words
Videosyncrasies have driven many a person mad
There is of course a solution
It's just a movie for goodness sake
Bring it back and get another one!

Thanks for visiting my blog and wishing me a happy birthday! Your blog is very entertaining, I like this poem and yesterday's post too. I'll bookmark it. Thanks again!
Wow, two hours browsing? That clerk might have run out of cigar waiting for you to pick some dvds.
Try netflix. I'm sure you can browse titles and read summaries for as long as you like.
mmmm... Videos. It's always such a puzzle choosing, and does anyone else besides me feel totally gipped if the movies stinks? I mean - I shelled out a goo $1.50/$5.00 buck for that weekly/new release - I want it to be good!!! ~_^ *winx* Such a delema...
How true. But the video store is some good times. Yup. Good times.
reese: tx and happy blogging
kmm: yes netflix, i need to enter the mail order revolution, good suggestion
tinka: i know the feeling...thus the extended judicial process
ppd: tx, one world
frankengirl: they're true friends then
hope: tx, blogya later
Golgotha_Tramp: 16 pounds???!!! That's outrageous. I don't blame you one bit. Is it the import costs?
