Ode to a Movie Caught on Late Night HBO
October 18th, 2006 by Aakaash
O mighty Python, O mighty Boa!
One moved fast, the other no slowah…
Hunters and agents were on your tails,
and perky blondes with skin so pale.
Boa Vs Python, Brother versus Brother;
both hunting, both hunted, pitted against the other.
Alas! I knew only one could prevail
but what if that train had derailed?
Would you still be battling, great serpent gods?
Would I still be taking midnight odds?
All I know is now it’s done,
but Komodo Vs Cobra is on at one.

Many things throughout history have inspired Man to reach for the lofty heights of human expression, to approach the very Gods, with art and passion. Late night HBO movies, unfortunately, have never been one of them.
I think the “boa” and “slowah” rhyme is pure genius, though. Kudos!

You know, I knew that *Anaconda* was just too one-sided a story.
