I apologize for having two posts now...but one is so very serious and has been critiqued to death, and this one is tongue-in-cheek... is that OK, Brad?

I ask you, Tom, if you had ever thought
Of using, for a part in your next flick,
An "older woman" cast into the plot
Of "Mission" number three, as one you'd pick
As your love int'rest, in between the scenes
When you are superhuman, hanging by
One hand (your body toned and tan, so lean)
From cliffs or building ledges in the sky?
I've never seen a man's face quite so fair,
Your eyes, so blue, it has to be contacts,
Those biceps always flexed: of course, that hair
That falls across your eyes, then is tossed back.
   To play a love scene, Tom, ahh so sublime,
   Would be this lady's wish of a lifetime.

I would also like to see this.  I think it's doubtful, though, as good old Tom probably uses leading women like some of us use a mirror.

I liked this light look at the man with a mission impossible to achieve / percieve / believe.

I like your style, Jana. Thanks for reading and commenting on this look at male vanity and swooning women. I also doubt very much that this will ever happen. Look at Sean Connery...his love interests in films could probably be his grandaughters. Oh, well, we've got more important things to do.

Thanks again,
Kris
