At the Picture Show

When I was a kid we went to the picture show. Not a film, not a movie, but The Picture Show.
Not sure, tonight, exactly what prompted me to write the following...I had some strange friends from time to time, as a child, but, really - nothin' like the crew you're about to meet.

Caw the crow and a flea named Flo
Said, "Hey, let's go to the picture show."
They got Matt the rat, and Babs the bat,
Caught a ride to the mall with a taxi-cat.

They got their tickets, popcorn and coke,
Flo ate too fast and began to choke.
They calmed her down, the show began -
It was
Godzilla Meets Peter Pan!

First it was Godzilla, then Peter on top.
The excitement seemed to never stop!
Matt spilled his drink, Caw chewed his ice,
Flo hid her eyes, Babs watched for mice.

To their delight, Peter won the fight.
Was Tinker Bell happy? You got that right!
Flo, Matt and Babs, and Caw the crow
Had a good time at the picture show!
