Formulaic Christmas Movie

a poem for all of us Hallmark movie fans

Her name's Noel or Holly

She's forgotten her "jolly"

And she's working on Christmas Day

He's recently divorced

Has a puppy (of course)

And loves the old-fashioned ways

At the end you just know

There beneath some mistletoe

They kiss as the credits play

[Kenneth The Poet]

No need for Tylenol, I guess. Nice work here.

Thank you. ~Jim
