Not too sure about this one. It's why we post em isn't it?

NOT ALWAYS

In Hollywood films you always find
the hero and heroine are able to grab
an escape boat when they want one -

whenever they run towards water
it's always high tide and
a loosely moored motor boat is there
with keys in the ignition

They'd have trouble here - today
is low tide, they'd have to trudge
through ankle deep mud in tuxedo
and long, low cut evening gown
losing patent leathers and high heels -

They would find most boats
stil had winter tarpaulins roped
over cabin and deck - or something
rotting and completely knackered,
without fuel, in need of more
than a coat of marine paint before
being made fully seaworthy

Loked at like this, there
could be a whole new dimension
to Hollywood, more noir than noir,
much closer to life than celluloid
and tape could handle.
