Ode to Cinema Swirl

by Brendan Mahon

Roll up, roll up, my friends

 

To the magical mystery cinema swirl show

 

Ten years can you believe

 

Growing stronger every year

 

The magic of film

 

Kefin and Sam

 

Having a bloody good laugh

 

From Star Wars to Casablanca

 

Here’s looking at you mate

 

The history of cinema

 

In your own front room

 

A good night in

 

Tiffen and Pepsi in the fridge

 

Tall tales of cinema past

 

From Kevin’s father

 

In Galway past

 

Seeing Woodstock seven times

 

At the old Savoy cinema

 

Trying to avoid the usherette from hell

 

With her massive torch like a searchlight

 

Or “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”

 

At the old Town Hall

 

Thrown out six times, only fourteen

 

For over 18 film

 

Now no more black and white

 

Cinema marches on

 

Sit back and relax

 

With Kefin and Sam

 

Have a bloody good laugh

 

Here’s looking at you mate

 

Keep the fridge full.
