“Eye has not, seen nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of Man, what God has prepared for him” Yes Pug we shall go to the Ball, see you there in the not too near future.
love that latest poem Gumbud, your a darlin man with the words.
Now for something completely different from a Dublin sausage factory.
Watched a documentary about the birth of Hollywood the other night, there were fortunes to be made quickly if you got the right formula, big money up for grabs and immigrants, mostly from Europe, got a steady hold from the start, and their descendants still have plenty of clout in Hollywood today. I always loved the cinema so I’m grateful to everyone involved for all the fun I got from them over the years and now to be able to see some of my favourites again on youtube is fantastic. My Mother and Father were always at the picture house, they loved films, maybe I was conceived in a back seat who knows.
A hundred years of films or more
Have cheered the hearts of many
They lined up at the cinema door
Waiting to pay their penny
Charlie Chaplin swung his cane
Making us all chuckle
Some of his antics were quite insane
When fooling with Fatty Arbuckle
The Keystone Kops kept the law
Albeit a bit messy
Their brand of justice was raw
When arresting Two Ton Tessie
Johnny Weissmuller came much later
He could swim like a fish
He wrestled a fierce aliigator
Who looked like Lillian Gish
Plenty more film folk I should mention
But we didn’t get their names
Credits were paid no attention
Just the action frames.
