Not for Lucille Ball Fans

  After watching "Being the Ricardos," I couldn't sleep, so I wrote this poem instead. 

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz,

a couple with showbiz pizzaz,

are depicted in this movie

that’s not a film easy to see.

 

Though too miscast to pass the test,

two splendid actors do their best

Kidman and Bardem try hard.

But miss the boat by a long yard.

 

To cover this, the scenes are blurred.

Fuzzy faces my anger stirred.

I still love Lucy, after all.

Her comedy talent does not fall.  

 

Don’t look for laughs in this picture.

No chuckles here, and that’s for sure.

Strictly drama at what expense?

A film like this seems an offense.
