Remembering Old Theaters
by Lord R.e. Taylor
For so many years
More than we care to count
Movies were the place to go
A single stand-alone theater
With a couple thousand people
All watching the same thing
Showing on a single screen
With an ice-cold Coke
Hot buttered popcorn
And your arm around your girl
Was there ever anything better
Then one-by-one they closed
Replaced by heartless multi-plexes
A few dozen seats and nothing else
But rarely you can still find a perfect theater
Make sure to go there and relive your memories
Before it is lost just like so many before it
