Ode to John Hughes, Film Director

Midwestern parodist
with roots in
National Lampoon


Acid wit
Big feelings


Geeks conquer all
and learn valuable
lessons
often merry in scope.


And dancing--
always with the dancing.


I, your target demographic
laugh and forehead-slap
with all that teen-age
melo-drama and fervent emotion


You got to me
got to us
and went out on a high note
(despite Curly Sue)
leaving us so very soon.
