roger corman sonnet: munchies [1987]

before we blame it all on dad who knew 

we were visited by an alien civilization

& got proof in peru in the form of little arnold

the mischievous who learned both spanish & english

in the space of two minutes who wanted only

earth things like corn chips & salsa & clark bars

or blame it on dad's twin brother who wanted to 

control his own little postage stamp sized of america

& did stop at nothing including kidnapping little

arnold the mischievous for whatever his diabolical desires

let's begin with cindy played by nadine van der velde

who might be the cutest woman in 1980s U.S. cinema

cuz my gawd! paul her boyfriend played by charles stratton 

was a complete dork even if we've come to the end of the world
