A Thanksgiving Ode To Hollywood

banner Autumn is upon us,

What a wonderful time.

It’s the perfect week to give thanks.

So I’ll start with who’s closest

To my chest-pounding heart,

I’ll start with my main man: Tom Hanks.

He’s filled me with laughter,

He’s filled me with tears.

He’s made me look like a chump,

As I wept in the theatre, all by myself,

When he portrayed Forrest Gump.

Another great actor,

That I must give thanks,

Brad Pitt is his name, not a schlub,

For he gave us 12 Monkeys, Ocean’s 11,

And his masterpiece, the Fight Club.

And how ’bout an actress?

How ’bout three, maybe four.

All of these girls I would date:

Beckingsale, Bosworth, Hudson and Holmes.

All of their first names are “Kate.”

Another fab gal,

I appreciate much,

Is the wildly attractive Cher.

With her flambouyant outfits,

Those come-hither eyes,

And that “straight from Supercuts” hair.

Now don’t get me wrong,

I’m not out of my mind,

Don’t think of me as a spazz,

For I’m also in love,

With her now famous offspring,

Who goes by the single-name: Chazz!

There’s a couple of bands,

That I must give big-props,

G’n’R, The Foo’s, Twisted Sister.

I must also thank,

My beautiful editor, the lovely and talented, Miss Glista.

So this Thanksgiving Day,

When you’re all at the table,

And thinking of everything good,

Take a step back,

And think of real people,

The ones out there in Hollywood.

They give us our movies,

They give us our songs,

They bring us joy everyday.

So as you gnaw at your turkey,

And nibble at your pie,

Remember to thank Michael Bay!

For he is the one,

The legend, the man,

The dude that I think could stop time.

‘Cause he is a mad dog,

My hero, the creator,

The one who made OPTIMUS PRIME!!!

Thank you so much Hollywood!!! You are my everything.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Love always, Matty W. Kelley, Norwood Patch, reporting.
