Rated R

The movie sounds intriguing;

R’s the letter it’s been rated.

The reasons for the rating

On the ads are clearly stated.

 

The first one that is mentioned,

Not surprisingly, is sex,

Which, in cinema for grown-ups

Is what everyone expects.

 

The second reason’s murder.

Certain viewers seem to mind

Any violence on screen; this one

They’d likely have declined.

 

The final rating rationale

Surprised me – place your bets!

If sex and murder didn’t scare you,

There are cigarettes!
