Casablanca...Photo Challenge 148 MLMM



a change of ending
it seems to be

captain louis renault of
round up the usual suspects
is walking away
with yvonne the night club singer
the start of a
beautiful new friendship

while rick
of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world
she walks into mine
gets sloshed in another gin joint 
thinking of ilse
as time goes by

  3. He was a movie director...so I thought of him. He was a follower and only commented if I wrote about movies:) I liked his quizzes too.I only got a few right but I liked the challenge.

  4. "As Time Goes By" is one of my fave songs. The sound track of my mother's love story.
