Plot : merry belated Christmas! this is a spoof of the infamous 'Twas The Night Before Christmas poem. It's set riiiight before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opened. i started writing it when the sequel opened and finished it around thanksgiving. I own nothing. XXX separate the stanzas. Enjoy and happy thanksgiving!
'Twas Mere weeks before thanksgiving and all through the nation
Theaters were brimming with anticipation.
XXX
Through the fall their lobbies had been empty and nearly bare
But they hoped with the arrival of a certain marvel sequel giant crowds would soon be there,
XXX
Venue owners nestled snug in their beds
While vision of packed lobbies danced in their head
But their thoughts were also filled with dread- rightfully so
They though "would fans still come albeit boseman's death two years ago?" *
XXX
The next day theater employee sarrived to big internet news chatter
They rushed to the break rooms and checked social media to see what was the matter
XXX
Black panther 's night debut had sparked a huge flash.
Crowds rushed to venues like runners racing in a hundred yards dash
word was that it was phenomenal you had to go
it was an incredible tribute to boseman ( and ver emotional too don't you know)
XXX
What to their amazed eyes appeared ( and made them go wide as a large rocks)
but loooong lines of moviegoers lined up 'round the blocks
the crowds were so excited , lively and thick
Theater owner knew in a moment it they had to act quick
XXX
More quick than eagles, theater-managers came,
They announced, shouted and cried jobs by name:
" Start up the projectors l make the rooms clean!
Now, Clean the stairs
On soda machines! clean the chairs
Fix up the candy Give a last go of the floors !
Light on! To the front .. make sure to stand tall
unlock the doors..
Now come in ! Come in
come in all!"
XXX
Like leaves in a storm
theater employees rushed about their jobs quicker than the norm
up to their positions they flew,
with pockets full of flashlight masks and showtimes too ,
And then, within minutes, They heard crowds pouring through the open doors
the chattering crowds kept piling in - more AND more
XXX
As the crowds piled in employees blinked their eyes and turning around,
To the concessions and box office the crowd came with a bound.
They were dressed in all sorts - some dressed in costumes from head to foot,
while tons of little kids weaved through crowds getting under foot
XXX
Backpacks purses and handbags flung on their backs,
moviegoers looked like peddlers with tenormous packs.
XXX
Their eyes-how they sparkled! The excitement and chatter , how merry!
It was catchy like the build to the first visit from the tooth fairy
Employee mouths' were drawn up in huge smiles
( for the venue hadn't Been THIS full in quite a while )
XXX
bits of dinner were stuck in customer's teeth,
While hidden snacks and drinks weighed down their backpacks and like heavy weights were beneath .
some customers had broad faces and a round belly,
that shook when they laughed, like a mold full of jelly.
XXX
some customers were thin, some short, some young some chubby like elves
and the employees grinned , in spite of themselves .
A wink of the customers eye and a twist of their heads
relaxed theater owners- they had nothing to dread
XXX
Concession workers went right to work,
and filled all the popcorn buckets and soda quickly as they could ( without being a jerk)
XXX
when the orders were filled and hot popcorn smells filled everyone's nose
Customers paid and giving a nod, up to the theaters they rose.
They sprang to the theater room , to their groups they've gave a whistle,
And away they all went like the launch of a missile
XXX
But the employees heard crowds say , ' as they vanished out of sight,
" Wakanda Forever to all, and to all a good moviegoing night!"
