I'd Like To Be.... by Liz Noni
I'd like to be at Westerberg High and joins the Heathers clique,
so I can pick on Betty Finn and make the freshman sick.
I'd like to have Vincent Price as my inventor so all around would be grand.
My pale and scarred up face would match my scissor-hands.
I'd like to be Laney making movies and with Troy we'd have our fights.
"Well should I get married,
should I be good? Should I astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and my Faustus hood, and not take her to the movies but to cemeteries and tell her stories of werewolf tongues and four clarinets."
He said with his guitar as he recites,
so in the end we conclude that reality bites.
I'd like to be Ms. Skellington,
where Jack and I the queen,
where people jump, and spook and sing, when it's Halloween.
I'd like to be Lisa Rowe,
a sociopath, fancy that.
I'd like to say her poem like a dirty southern rat.
"Razors pain you,
rivers are damp.
Acid stains you,
drugs cause cramps,
guns aren't lawful,
nooses give,
gas smells awful,
you might as well live!"
I'd like to be Arnie,
with Gilbert I would run,
I'd climb water towers, drop my shoe and have some fun.
I'd like to be Tim Burton, making movies with my Charlie Chaplin hat,
I'd laugh with Johnny all night and day.
Now I would like that.
(places & people I would like to be and go. Based from movies Heathers,Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, Nightmare Before Christmas, Girl Interrupted, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and Tim Burton. Quotes, from films.) please comment
