Movies at Home

Watched a first-run movie

From the comfort of my couch,

An experience to which

So many folks could likely vouch.

 

You can’t beat the convenience

And the snacks my kitchen holds,

Plus the fact that I can pause things,

Even as the plot unfolds.

 

There’s no outerwear to deal with

And no bus or cab or train

And it doesn’t matter if, outside,

There’s cold or snow or rain.

 

Yet I kind of miss the theaters

Crammed with fellow movie buffs,

Though, at times, your seatmates seemed like

Slobs or boors or lowlife scruffs.

 

Yes, I know I can return to

Those few theaters that exist,

But when Netflix has a current film,

It’s too hard to resist.
