I've never seen the film, North By Northwest
Or even Vertigo, both by Hitchcock
I must surely stand out from all the rest
For not having seen Rear Window, all blocks
To my omniscient goal. But wait - the box -
Specifically Film Four - is now showing
The first of those three all-time classic flicks
OK, the plot and dialogue's creaking
Like my old mattress every year; speaking
Of beds, the French guy didn't look impressed
With the spare room's single bed; and so it looks
Like another no-go in my renting
Attempts. Still, when payday comes, I'll invest
Fifteen more quid in an ad. Wish me luck!
How come you haven't seen these films before ... what did you think?
ReplyDeleteAnd why don't you use Gumtree?
I really love this sonnet by the way . And by the way there is a reason I read your sonnet blog. And it's not becoz you comment on mine. I actually enjoy your sonnets - wow, I actually enjoy your poetry (I don't enjoy all poetry btw) x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jude - I appreciate it x
ReplyDeleteWell I thought North By Northwest was a bit predictable - but then it was the fifties! It was OK. I still haven't seen those other two Hitchcock classics. I have seen bits of them but I've never seen the whole film. Jimmy 'Wah' Stewart is a bit annoying as well, it must be said!
