to opening screen

Leaving without a video (bygone days when there were video shops)

There must be something wrong with me
that I have searched along these ailes
and gazed at stacks on racks and crouched to see
half-revealed breasts and men of style,
yet still can't find a video to take home.
When I think of all those films I never saw
my mind goes blank. Alone I groan,
but that Greek's got an armful - all hard core
I bet. Porn sexy sado-masso stuff.
I want more than that. I want delight.
I want to laugh until I've cried, enough!
I'm sick of angst - though frights alright.

Perhaps something to please the wife,
something a litttle better than life.
