• 039. Airplane! (1980, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker & Jerry Zucker)
    2026/05/03

    It’s all a bit mysterious,

    Food makes people delirious,

    From fish abstain,

    To fly this plane,

    Surely you can’t be serious?

    2026/04/26

    Frog One’s shipment will make you tipsy,

    As you’d expect from a French gypsy,

    Aside from the blow,

    Popeye wants to know,

    Ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

  • 037. The Time Machine (1960, George Pal)
    2026/04/19

    H.G. Welles knew a thing or two,

    About travel and time-in-lieu,

    Advancing the clocks,

    And meeting Morlocks,

    He’ll help the Eloi stage a coup.

    2026/04/12

    A tennis player without a loss,

    Meets a bachelor with too much gloss,

    Politeness can drain,

    Riding on the train,

    As Bruno suggests to Guy, Criss Cross!

    2026/04/05

    Henry and Tommy bleed Brooklyn dry,

    With their fingers in every pie,

    But Henry flays,

    When Tommy says,

    “What do you mean, ‘I’m a funny guy’”?

    Though the brothers couldn’t be whiter,

    For a band they couldn’t be tighter,

    In a car ex-police,

    Says Jake post-release,

    ‘Elwood, fix the cigarette lighter’.

    2026/03/15

    Frank Sinatra, Sammy and Deano,

    Want more from Las Vegas than Keno,

    In a town full of sights,

    They turn out the lights,

    And steal the cash from the casino.
