Oh boy! I'm going to Hollywood!
Movie stars, paparazzi, red carpet,
And countless celebrities again. . .
I'm in. Such a Big Deal! Who knows,
Maybe an Academy Award, or two.
That's right, two figurine of Oscar,
The Idol in both hands with pictures
On the famously known coverman,
Here and there, all the way. Yeah,
I'm getting into the movie biz, man!
At least that's what
I was told the other day
While at a movie theatre.
That's a great play!
I was about 15 minutes
Or so earlier
Armed, as usual, with popcorn
And a can of cola
Ready to see the newest blockbuster
With Mark Wohlberg as starring,
Cross my heart and hope to die.
Nowadays, before the slew
Of coming attractions begin,
There are usually pre-roll ADs
Playing on the silver screen.
That day was no different. Oh geez!
So many wasted AD dollars,
I thought to myself,
Until the Grand Invitation came out
Which thundered in my ears,
"How'd you like to get into
The movie business," the next AD began.
"Now's your chance!"
Whoa. . . what's this! Hmmmm. . . .
Me in the movie business? Interesting.
The AD continued, "That's right.
Here at the movie theatre we offer
Exciting employment opportunities,
A friendly environment, room for growth,
And a great way to step into the movie circles."
Huh? What? A job at the movie theatre?
That's what they meant by "getting into
The movie business"?! Oh, no! So disappointed.
Yet so impressed about a chance of being
At least the second Mark Wahlberg, no less. . .
