LUNCHTIME
in L.A. ... Sonnetized Season 6 Satire(?): Praising Riley
&Sam's Grown-up-itude
|
Joss has said Season 6 is about
"growing up" . . . and Marti showed us the
"perfect" fantasy

Like the subway breeze that blew
up Marilyn's skirt
another burst of mystical
sewer gas blows up
the ever-open nostrils of
forensicpopouri . . .
Against his will, yet
another Shakespearean sonnet
drips from
his fingers.
WHEN SAM &
RILEY rose into the air
they left
behind an image to recall
of
demon-fighting .grown-ups with true
flair.
(No Buffy babytalk. And they're both
tall.)
In Sam we saw a woman
with no flaws.
If she missteps, she catches
it with grace.
(Hey, even Willow had to
fake cat claws
to say she "hated her" for
Buffy's "face.")
In happy fantasy she'd
be my wife.
Resourceful, with no
misery in sight.
Sam deals with Buffy-duty
-- risks her life
to save the lives of
others. While a night . . .
. . . of
endless sorrow seems our Buffy's path
and
the whole Scooby gang's. Redo the
math!

Oh gosh!
What had he done?!? The SMG fanclub will
rip
out his fingernails... It was the gas. The sewer
gas
made him say it. But would they ever
believe him?
NOTE: Yesterday's
equally sewer-gas inspired, but
much more
insightful <smile> sonnet may
be sniffed

Here's a little
dittie:
In five years time
On a night
sublime
Sam will awake
And wish she could
forsake
This life of demon fighting
Under
really lousy lighting
Black Kevlar has lost it's
appeal
She needs to know when's her next
meal
A bath, a home, a kidlet or two
These are
the things that she'll want to do
"You've changed"
he'll snort
"You haven't" she'll retort
And
exposed will be the ups and downs
Of which Riley
spoke, so profound

yes, unspeakably horrible . . . but I'll
check back at tea time ...

NOTE: After consulting
with several British folk, I have decided
to
disregard everything they said about tea time.
<smile>
I hereby proclaim tea time in
Santa Monica to be 4:00 PM
(Pacific).
