A Movie Dream

It was there,
life and death,
the six-fingered man
accused me of killing his father.
I killed your father? No.

Where’s Westley?
Out pillaging the world.
The countless echoes from
the Cliffs of Insanity are guarded
by a sword-wielding Buttercup.

What of the prince?
Forget the prince. He’s a sissy.
We need a miracle!  Call Max.
He knows everything.
No. We just need Fezzik.
Then we can storm the castle.

Buttercup and Westley are married 
by the Impressive Clergyman.
Vizzini and Inigo Montoya 
arm wrestle for a horse.
Inigo wins; Vizzini protests:
That’s Inconceivable.

Buttercup and Westley,
Fezzik and Inigo
ride into the sunset.
All’s well that ends well.
