IN THE EIGHTIES I USED TO SUPPLY

 

In the eighties I used to supply

Filofaxes to the mafia at the time

I suppose you could say I was

Involved in very organised crime

A CEMENT MIXER COLLIDED WITH A PRISON VAN

 

A cement mixer collided with a prison van

And the incident was critical

Motorists are asked to be on the lookout

For sixteen hardened criminals

MY GRANDFATHER INVENTED

 

My grandfather invented,

And you might well scoff,

The cold air balloon, well

It never really took off

MY UNCLE TRAINS ANIMALS

 

My Uncle trains animals

To be honest he’s a bit of a bore

He has one dog that does magic tricks

It’s a labracadabrador

MY DOG ATE ALL THE SCRABBLE TILES

 

My dog ate all the Scrabble tiles

When they were spilt on the mat

And for days he kept leaving

Little messages around the flat

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – CARRIE (1976)

 

“Carrie” is a horror classic, screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen, based on the Novel by Stephen King and Directed by Brian De Palma.

 

High school senior Carrie White (Sissy Spacek), is a shy, unworldly, and friendless teenage girl who has been sheltered from real life by her domineering, fanatically religious mother (Piper Laurie), while struggling in secret with the special telekinetic powers she possesses, a secret which she cannot divulge to her mother as she would consider it to be a gift from the devil.

The only adult authority figure who tries to help Carrie with her life is her Physical Education teacher, Miss Collins (Betty Buckley) but she is warned by the Principle not to get too involved.

After an incident of bullying by her classmates the culprits are banned from attending the Senior Prom and blame Carrie so they plan to exact their revenge on her by humiliating her in front of everyone at the Prom.

So will they succeed or will she unleash her telekinetic powers on them in a horrifying display of rage.

Amy Irving, William Katt, John Travolta, Nancy Allen and P.J. Soles play Carries classmates, good and bad, in what is possibly the best movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel.

Three blind mice? Three blind mice?

Avoiding my baited traps, every single one

Visually impaired, see how they run,

Thumbing their noses when all said and done
