cloud cover
keeping away the frost
warm radiator

fake American accents
ground out so badly
one can't make out the words
make-up played for laughs
and wigs barely held in place.
Let's not mention the bodies
as realistic as Guy Fawkes dummies
and wooden acting
and lead characters too old
to ever be considered young lovers
(that combover is fooling nobody).
We escape in the interval
to a fish supper
and a parking ticket.
