Goodfella's...{ The 4 Star Flick From '91 } Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Anytime it passes when I surf
I'll stop and back-track rapidly
and excitedly as if I'd found
the lost continent of Atlantis....

I've heard Lufthansa's BIGS
has a company policy
if you watch this famous flick
you'll wind up unemployed,
or in the trunk of a coupe de ville
before the newborn morning next...
Looking up at Tommy DeVito
with a knife to finish you off.

Okay, I made that up, but-
It did make you stop for pause
for a moment, yes it did,
as you mumbled to your yourself:
Good Gotti! I never knew that';
You know that's what you said.

I guess in a way, I'm an addict -
to the gala of this four star movie,
that this poem was supposed to voice,
'til the facts turned into fiction
and the theme and plot on a shelf,
turning me from author to topic,
and because so, now I look-
like some kind of WISEGUY...myself!
