Spontaneous Friday Fun Took Place
When Ben and Me Came Face-To-Face
With Sydney, Ethan, and Trey (plus Two)
At the Mission Theatre to See Horton Hears a Who
Food and drink, elephant and kangaroo
We all had fun watching the animated zoo
Cheering on critters as they stole the scenes
Then philosophizing on what it all means.
It made me smile to hang with friends,
To laugh out loud, to wonder how it all ends
And watch the delight of kids, young and old
Appreciate a simple story magically told.
With wit and with style
ReplyDeleteYour comments made me smile
And a movie treat it surely was
Your review is very good
But I think that you should
Point out, Horton’s message for each of us
I’ll give it a try
Though my prose is a bit dry
Maybe you can cut me some slack
You see, I think the point is we believe what we see
And that’s how we just think, that things should always be
Confronted with doubt, our egos shout out and we ready to weather attack
We seek facts, find validation, and rally others in hate
With our paradigms broken, we just can’t tolerate
But Horton stands tall, defending the small, he protects them from high up above
With faith and with hope Horton says “Hello!”
To those sweet tiny Whos who live helplessly far below
And he protects them with compassion and love
Seuss has a message for us quite clear
It’s not difference or change that we should fear
But rather, we should make some more room in our hearts
The story of Horton, we don’t completely understand
Unless we are open to embracing our fellow man
And celebrating the wondrous potential of life
