       Thanks, Bartholomew! I wanted to tie in Casablanca, but I chickened out.

     No, it will have to be a new poem. I’ll have to review the dialog and give it a new go. I love that movie!

       I started out with good intentions, but like all such things, it went a different way:

       That Certain Something

       Bogart had it in “Casablanca.”
       Monroe had it in “The Seven Year Itch.”
       That tilt of the head.
       That look, that spark.
       that turn of the lip.

       Films almost catch it.
       Magazines want it.
       The French call it va-va-voom.
       My va-va-voom took a wrong turn
       and ended up in the Cleveland sewer.

       Ha! Nicely done, especially the last three lines of the first stanza.

       Thanks, it was accepted for publication. Even sewer poems have a chance for fame…..
