THE PERFECT WIFE

 

Every man wants a wife, who is beautiful,

Understanding and economical,

A good cook, funny and also sensual

but you can only have one matrimonial

THE SCIENCE OF MARRIAGE

Marriage and love

Are purely a matter of chemistry

which is why a wife

Treats a man like toxic waste you see

HEAVENLY MARRIAGE

Marriages are made in heaven

The women tell the men

But whets really frightening

Is, so are thunder and lightning

MARRIAGE OBSERVATION

When a man opens the car door

For his wife,

You can be sure of one thing

In this life

Either it’s a new car

Or a new wife

THE ONE MARRIAGE

 

Marriage is when

A man and woman become as one

The trouble is

It’s not until the deed is done

And trouble starts

Trying to decide which one

PILLOW TALK

If you want your wife to listen

And to pay strict attention

To every single word you speak

Then start talking in your sleep

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE SHINING (1980)

 

“The Shinning” is a horror classic, screenplay by Stanley Kubrick and Diane Johnson, based on the Novel by Stephen King and Directed by Stanley Kubrick.

 

Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) is an aspiring author and recovering alcoholic cursed with a persistent writer's block.

His solution is to take a job as an off-season caretaker at the secluded Overlook Hotel in Colorado's snow-capped mountains, and drags his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and his gifted son, Danny (Danny Lloyd) with him.

The Torrance’s arrive as the Hotel begins to shut down for the season, and they are given the grand tour, during which they meet the Hotel's chef, Hallorann (Scatman Crothers).

Halloran chats with Danny about the rare psychic gift they share called “The Shining”, and warns him about certain rooms he should avoid, as the Hotel has a grizzly past.

In the weeks that follow the closure of the Hotel Jack fails to overcome his writers block and little by little, Jack starts losing his mind.

He feels trapped in a gargantuan silent prison set in an unforgiving environment of seemingly endless snowstorms, his days are filled with strange occurrences and eerie visions and incessant voices in his head demand a sacrifice, leading to a thrilling and dramatic finale in true Kubrick style.
