Drumsticks and Sharkmeat
I'm watching
A dumb movie,
The Adventures of Ford Fairlaine,
Starring major male chauvinist
Andrew Dice Clay,
Which actually happens to have
Some pretty funny parts
At one point
Clay tosses
A pair of drumsticks,
Belonging to
His now deceased
Sleazeball sidekick,
Into a fire
Right before
Watching this movie
I had watched
Another movie,
One I'd never seen,
Called Power,
Starring Richard Gere
Several times in the movie
Gere is seen
Beating drumsticks
Against a drumpad
In one scene
The camera focuses on
The drumsticks
But while they're held still
Later in Ford Fairlane,
The guests at an
Afternoon lawn party
Thrown by a rich woman
Played by Priscilla Presley
Are invited to partake in
A feast of sharkmeat,
Earlier in the day
I'd gotten to a part
In the same Tom Swift book
Featured in Tempest in a Teapot
Where the characters are
Discussing the menu in Bermuda,
Where the entire story takes place,
And Rick orders shark meat
Simultaneous with Power
There was a two-hour program
About the Bermuda Triangle
Speaking of Priscilla Presley,
In the few minutes
Between the end of Power
And the start of Ford Fairlane
I decided to fast forward
The tape I'd taped Power on --
Originally there had been
Two hours at the start of the tape,
From something I wasn't keeping,
That I could fill in
With a two-hour program,
And then came
U2's Rattle and Hum,
Which I was keeping
I filled in the two hours with Power,
So now I could
Position the tape
After Rattle and Hum
As the fast forward
Arrived at the
Estimated endpoint of
Rattle and Hum
