_The trouble with the movies,
As it appears to me,
Is not what the wise people
About me seem to see.
But I do raise objection
In accents bold and high
To one outstanding evil
The waste of custard pie.
If all that precious pastry
Thrown with such ready grace,
Such technique and precision,
At some poor fellow’s face,
Were gathered all together
For my convenience, I
Would just retire from labor
And live on custard pie_.
