THAT LOOK OF LOVE

Have you ever noticed?

That look that women get

You know the one I mean

When they want to do IT

When they have that

I want sex look in their eye

Have you ever noticed?

No neither have I

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES –THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)

 

The Philadelphia Story is a Classic romantic comedy, directed by George Cukor. about Philadelphia socialites Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) and C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) who married impulsively, and their marriage and subsequent divorce was approached with equally passion.

Two years after their break-up, Tracy is about to remarry in a ceremony to take place at the Lord mansion, with bridegroom George Kittredge (John Howard) a nouveau riche businessman and aspiring politician.

However, the day before the wedding, three unexpected guests arrive at the mansion, Macaulay Connor (James Stewart), Elizabeth Imbrie (Ruth Hussey) and Dexter himself, much to Tracy’s consternation.

The three are all in the employ of Sidney Kidd (Henry Daniell) publisher and editor of the tabloid Spy magazine, having made a deal with Dexter to get a story on Tracy's wedding, the wedding of the year, in return for Kidd not publishing an expose on Tracy’s womanising father, so the scene is set for the fun and romance to begin.

The other members of the Lord family who complete the story are Uncle Willy (Roland Young), Seth (John Halliday), Margaret (Mary Nash) and Dinah (Virginia Weidler).

WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (22)

 

Who shot Liberty Valance

What price glory

When the legends die

Where no vulture’s fly

Why oh why

AN HOUR GLASS FIGURE

 

An Hourglass is Female

And I know it’s unfair and rotten

But it’s female because over time

The weight shifts to the bottom

PAYMENT IN KIND

 

On the seventh day

Of the seventh month

Londoners paid the price

The ultimate price

in blood and death

In part only they paid

On that July morning

For years of liberalism

Historically Opening our doors

To the world

Offering Succor

To every race and creed

And on July 7th

Our kindness was repaid

Not in like kind

But in bloody vengeance

By the terror of Islam

They bit viciously

At the hand that fed them

A hand offered in friendship

Torn to shreads

Instead of embracing us

And returning in kind

They choose instead

To embrace terror

We should beware

Of giving of our hearts

To the heartless ones

Who plot to destroy us

This was only a warning

They will come again

HIS NAME IS BOND

 Men are like Government Bonds

That’s for sure

Because it takes a life time

Before they mature

RUSH HOUR VIEWS

 

It was Monday morning again

The kids were back to school

And I sat in a jam

No better or worse

Than any other Monday

My car came to a stop

Beside the drive of a large house

Long past its best

And I saw fixed to the crumbling masonry

Of the once grand gateway, a sign

“Eland Place”

I laughed to myself

And pondered just how many

Eland run free

Along the A247

Then the traffic inched forward

And I looked again

This time the sign read

“Elan Place”

So I pondered again

At work I sort the definition of “Elan”

Enthusiastic and assured vigor and liveliness”

“Distinctive and stylish elegance”

“A feeling of strong eagerness”

And picturing in my mind

The dingy ramshackled house again

It occurred to me that

The prospect of African antelope

With their short spirally twisted horns

Making their way towards Byfleet

Seemed more appropriate
