PSYCHO DRAMA

 How often have you found yourself

in the shower,

when some demented cross dresser

pulls back the curtain

disturbing your privacy,

and without a by your leave

starts attacking you with a knife?

 

I grant you it would be a rare event,

the odds stacked against it no doubt;

but how even more unusual it would be

to see through the steam some fat bloke

in a suit and tie

filming the whole thing?

 

I ask you - whatever next!

and to make it worse

no mention of a fee - 

so much for equity. 

 

Forget about cross gender

incompatibility syndrome

(I just made that up).

Go in peace, I say

consider a knife amnesty;

have a nice day.

Thanks David for going the extra mile in interpretation. All highly valid when turned over. I saw the doc that Colin mentioned, and it disturbed me rather, with the perverse fancies of Hitchcock clearly revealed. I thought I would try to neutralize that by ridiculing it - hence Michael. The film was a shock for me at the age of 16 !

Glad I stirred you up Hannah! Not sure if IS exists, but it should. I do mimicry quite a lot. Thanks for looking in.

Thanks Suki. I didn't realize how the addition of "fat controller" would add an ingredient. Glad that worked.

Blimey, Col. Scary French! Yes the doc. got me thinking. Very interesting , do watch it. Note the comment about filming in black and white and why...

Grateful to you: Tommy, David and Pat additionally.

Ray with love to all.

Top stuff Michael and you have the pundits pondering. I'm guessing you watched the recent doc on the making of said shower scene? It's on my catch-up to-do list so no spoilers please although I have a good idea how it turned out. CUT!

Hi Ray,

Like David, this poem works as a grotesque comedy ~ a parody of sorts. Then, there's a deeper aspect: Illuminati initiation; intimations of blackmail, or just resignation to Hollywood-style seediness.

Lovely reading too.

Cheers, Suki

Incompatability Syndrome, a condition neglected as of late, No questions in the House as yet.
The shower drama - possibly a few of 'Me Too's' !
