A spoonful of sugar


Today, some co-workers and I were talking about "Mary Poppins." How great is that movie? I have a goal to watch it again soon.
I have the tendency to get that song "I Love to Laugh" stuck in my head. Steve said, for him, it was "Chim-Chimney," and Conchita said she would most likely have "A Spoonful of Sugar" running through her mind. Later, Leslie was singing the praises of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidoches."
It's a universally appealing movie, I think. Every person has a different favorite song. How can you go wrong? Well, you can't.
I have strong feelings about "Feed the Birds" as well. Even as a kid, I would always cry seeing that poor old lady sitting there all alone, except for the birds. Sigh.
I really like to do impersonations, and I think my Mary Poppins is stellar. Maybe that's what I can do in my stand-up act, impersonate different singers. I do a killer Tina Turner ("Private Dancer") and Cher ("If I could Turn Back Ta-aom.")
Anywho, let's all give it up for "Mary Poppins," practically perfect in every way.

And, oh my gosh, while searching for a pic for this post, I found this crazy trailer. People are genius, and have way too much time on their hands. Check it out. I loved it.

My problem with the Movie is the Sexual overtones! It shocks me that so early on "family" movies were so over the top. DICK van DYKE, the conflicted porn star was in that movie, yes?

I love Mary Poppins. I've always wished I could be swept up in a chimney and dance across rooftops. One can dream, right?
