Was watching Disney's The Lion King on VHS Got it from the thrift store for a dollar When it started up It was halfway through That realization made me wonder
Someone somewhere started this movie But they never finished it They stopped it Took it out of their VCR They never picked it up again Except to pack it in a box of old forgotten things I wonder what made them stop it
Was it a child who went to play outside with his friends? And when he returned Was he grown with no desire to be a child again? Did he find a better movie to watch? Or did he find the movie boring and never bothered with it again?
Was it a Mother watching it while feeding her baby? Did she leave to get more food? And while she was out Did she come across the new and improved DVD player? Did she find it on sale and thought it must be better than VHS?
Maybe it was an old man reliving an easier day when he was younger Was it the last movie he watched Before the paramedics stopped it And took him away to his final resting place?
Was it his daughter who took it out of the VCR Placed it carefully in its casing Put it with all the other VHS tapes she found in an old box Gave that box to the thrift shop Where I inevitably found it and brought it home
