"A Hollywood Fantasy" (a poem I wrote last night)

A Hollywood Fantasy

The two lock eyes,
Smiles are exchanged,
The opening scene foreshadowing the inevitable,
The couple’s fate,

The two bump into one another,
At a random place,
Coincidence not being possible,
It’s simply fate,

Apologies and numbers are shared,
A first date soon to come,
Everything seemingly perfect,
As the couple fall in love,

Drama then unfolds,
Trust is nearly broken,
Secrets that went untold,
The two separate for reflection,

Magic then fills the air,
Snow falls to the ground,
The two suddenly appear,
With Sinatra in the background,

They again lock eyes,
Move ever closer to one another,
Their lips meet with a passion,
As they live happily ever after,

A Hollywood fantasy,
How I wish it were true,
Instead I’m stuck in reality,
Not knowing what to do.

At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
