Posted by crazy4yarn2 | June 4, 2024, 8:54 AMI 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.
