I've Paid To Watch And Listen

A poem we can all agree with

I’ve Paid To Watch And Listen

Sitting watching TV
the screen refreshes with delight
New film out soon
and I’m free Saturday night
A trip to the cinema
inform all my mates
The time to enjoy the newest films
Back row if your on dates

We all agree a time to meet
Brought our tickets
Sat on our seat
But then it happens
The loud ones arrive
Now my ultimate experience
They will deprive

The talking the whispering
The laughing we all hear
Its like a thousand cockroaches
Hissing in your ear

The hairs raise in anger
From my neck that is now tense
Why pay for a film and talk
This really makes no sense

I agree with the trailer
To turn off your phone
Feel they will ignore this
But I’m the unknown

So as I sit there waiting
The film finally begins
Cinema etiquette ignored
The first of their sins

Now the rustling starts
and then a sweet it thrown
Picking on the viewers
who turn up alone
But will I stand for this?
Your answer is no!
I get up and stand before them
Blocking my already ruined show

“So you want to talk?
Get outside and have your chat
All of us have paid to watch a film”
(I’m hoping they react)


“Sit down then it’s a free country”
The response I have discarded
“Why are you still here bruv are you retarded?”
I stare right through this leader
The most vulgar of the bunch
He raises to stare me out
Then connects my punch

An applaud surrounds me
My friends stand by my side
“now watch the film we all paid for”
the group will now abide

So when your next at the cinema
Try not to get upset
Because there are more people like me
And when justice is served
You will applaud I bet

you forgot to write about the little sods who sit in the seat behind and kick the back of the seat incessantly, or rest their foot on it and jiggle it for the next 2 hours. Those are the ones who always sit behind me. This is a cute write, one I can well relate to!

I put my phone on silence, sadly I'm one of those chronic texters lol
But the talking and loud laughing that has nothing to do with the movie usually annoys me, I'm also kind of guilty of that too.

I liked the subject matter great job with this piece I cringed at the cockroach thing because well anything to do with roaches makes me cringe (even if they are metaphorical)

beautiful

I liked reading a poem that isn't about love, or hate or whatever, it was a nice break. Keep it up :)

[trainwreck]

[Sukriti Suki]

Excellent. Enjoying your work!

I totaly agree with you, I hate it when people are rude to you and others for no reason. Watch the movie or get out some of us are trying to have a good time!! Nice poem.

Haha aww. Makes me feel guilty. I don't go to movies much just because they are so expensive and I have trouble sitting still. :p I'd much rather be at home, cuddled up with a cutie making funny comments about the movie. At the same time though, all it takes is an angry glare and I shutup.

Good write though!

Haha I had to do the same not to long ago
Its refreshing to hear that their are still people
With balls in this world. I applaud you :)
