Trailers don't give away the entire plot. I've been watching for years As an active actor In various melodramas.         The good guy is clean shaven      Beneath the lather,      Emotes empathy,      And never snickers.      A straight shooter. The other guy needs a blade As cutting as sarcasm, And aims when you turn.      Then there's re-runs      Whose endings never change.      The prophet gets arrested.      Tara burns. Ice bergs floe.      I am under Lowry's volcanoe,      Or leaving Las Vegas.      28 Days is only two hours      Of wine and roses. The trailers just reveal enough To give me hope.

Trailers
Trailers don't give away the entire plot. I've been watching for years As an active actor In various melodramas.         The good guy is clean shaven      Beneath the lather,      Emotes empathy,      And never snickers.      A straight shooter. The other guy needs a blade As cutting as sarcasm, And aims when you turn.      Then there's re-runs      Whose endings never change.      The prophet gets arrested.      Tara burns. Ice bergs floe.      I am under Lowry's volcanoe,      Or leaving Las Vegas.      28 Days is only two hours      Of wine and roses. The trailers just reveal enough To give me hope.
