When you’re on the pull
If
you want to break the ice
Say
something funny
Or
say something nice
Be
devastatingly witty
Or
say something clever
Be
complimentary
Or
just lie in your endeavour
“Wow
are you a computer whiz?”
You
can enquire of her
“Because
it seems you know how
To
turn my software to hardware”
Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
If he says “hey a thought just crossed my mind”
Give
him a measured look and say
“So,
a thought crossed your mind?
Well
it must have been a long and lonely journey”.
I got the sack, to my sorrow
But
I still have to go in tomorrow
All
though I don’t want to enter
I
did work at the Job Center
The half a chicken crossed the road
Because
he had no one beside
So,
the reason it crossed the road
Was
to get to its other side
Would you think me quite mad
If
I asked what bird is always sad
If
not, what bird would you say
And
would you say the blue jay
“Dark Victory” is a romantic drama, based on the play by George Emerson Brewer Jr. and Bertram Bloch, and Directed by Edmund Goulding.
It’s
the story of Judith Traherne (Bette Davis) a wealthy Long Island society girl
given to a dizzy lifestyle.

is a confident and self-assured young woman able to command the attention of
any man in her sphere.
One
of whom is an Irish horse trainer, Michael O'Leary (Humphrey Bogart) who
witnessed her falling from her horse after badly misjudging a jump.
It
becomes apparent in the aftermath that it was caused by a problem with her
vision, so her best friend, Ann King (Geraldine Fitzgerald), her secretary
Martha (Virginia Brissac), and handsome young friend Alex Hamm (Ronald Reagan),
all urge her to consult Dr. Parsons (Henry Travers) who in turn directs her
toward brain specialist Dr. Frederick Steele (George Brent).
Steele
diagnoses a brain tumour which will end her life within a year if left to run
its course so he recommends an operation and afterwards as she recovers from
the surgery she falls in love with him and him with her and he proposes.
Unfortunately,
she discovers that the prognosis is that the tumour will come back and
eventually kill her, learning this, she becomes manic and depressive and goes
off the rails and breaks the engagement.
New health warnings should be
On bottles and tins for us to see
Warnings clearly on display
That the consumption of alcohol may
Make you think you can sit chatting
With the opposite sex without spitting
