- Comment from author about the poem: My muse is up that tree again๐ So I thought I'd just throw together a few short poems and quotes I've heard in movies I've watched.This is one poem I'll most likely be constantly adding to over time. Hope you enjoy๐ค๐๐น๐โ๐ The quote from Slither,1973 is actually "No man", but I thought it only appropriate to change it to person.
