FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY
Float like a Butterfly
Sting

Float
like Buffalo,
Get
punched in the face
A DEAL OF STRICTURE
I made an error, for which
There
was a deal of stricture
On
reflection I should not
Have
asked Thor to hang a picture
THE HABITUALLY DISAPPOINTED SUPPORT GROUP
The habitually disappointed support group
Had
good reason to bellyache
As
their meeting had been cancelled
And
as a result, there would be no cake
OLD AGE IS LIKE BEING IN A PLANE

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – WHERE EAGLES DARE (1968)
Where Eagles Dare is a WW2 drama film, screenplay written by Alistair MacLean based on his book of the same name and, directed by Brian G. Hutton.
After
a British Mosquito aircraft is shot down over Nazi held territory, the Germans
capture American Brigadier General George Carnaby (Robert Beatty), and take him
to the nearby S.S. headquarters at the Schloss Adler, the Castle of Eagles,
because the Germans believe the General is privy to details of the D-Day
operation.
So
Admiral Rolland (Michael Hordern) and Colonel Turner (Patrick Wymark) of
British Intelligence assemble a crack commando team led by Major Jonathan Smith
(Richard Burton) to rescue him before he can divulge any details of the plans
for the Normandy landings.
Amongst
the team of Brits is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Morris Schaffer (Clint
Eastwood), who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation, and
when two of the team are killed soon after arriving in Germany, Schaffer
suspects that Smith's mission has more than one objective.
