You've entered the city called Noir You stumbled and fell, here you are It's midnight and scary and though you are wary you'll leave in the trunk of a car This is Noir City, part 1 of 5.
Can I borrow this limerick, in slightly altered form, for my NOIR CITY film festival this month?
Done live, I think it's even more noir if the speaker moves from helpful to heinous in a single line:
Welcome to the city of Noir You stumbled and fell, here you are Though its midnight and scary There's no need to be wary You'll be safe in the trunk of this car
Please use the limerick anytime you'd like. I'd be honored. All I ask is that you sign your book for me at the next Noir City Chicago--I bought my copy last year after you'd left town.
And welcome to our humble blog of which I am only a cog Recite our rhymes noir wherever you are in Joseph H. Lewis-styled fog
Though a fog machine might interfere with the screening...
