.5. Taking A View Poem by David Threadgold

An arm around your shoulder
You cuddled up so tight
As Frankenstein got to his feet
A shudder showed your fright

Screams rang around the viewers
An usherette said shush
She shone her torch along the rows
Made two young lovers blush

The music deep and deadly
As the monster started killing
It took us to the halftime break?
And two tubs for a shilling

Then lights dimmed back to darkness
A scream now filled the air
The monster took another life
But now we didn’t care

All starred at one another
Then all went face on face
While passions rose with kissing
All locked in fond embrace
