MOVIE NIGHT

It's Sunday night-
We all agree
To gather as
A family;
The popcorn pops,
Kids fight for space,
A silver disc
Is put in place
And lights are dimmed
To help enhance
The film we pick
To give a chance;
The movie drags,
Our naughty son
Takes careful aim
And just for fun
Throws a kernel
Through the air,
Striking sister
In the hair,
Who sends it back
Across the room
Which hits the cat
Who in the gloom
Suspects the dog
Of disrespect
And pays him back
With claws unchecked
Which makes him jump
Onto a chair
And spill the bowl
Of popcorn there
Upon my wife,
Who then pelts me
With husks and chaff
(I guess because
I dared to laugh),
So I strike back
With specks of white
Which justifies
A popcorn fight
So movie night
Ends in a brawl-
A cinematic
Free-for-all!
