19th century
Ah-h-h! Where would we be without the
movies—
a favorite pastime of enjoyment and relaxation?
Its presentation may
have changed as technology has advanced,
but the emotions on and off the screen
still remain the same.
Movies, the cinema, the silver screen
Exposed on film metaphysical tricks
Motion pictures
and moving photoplays
Rendered reeling
picture shows known as flicks
Viewers, no matter the era or their age
Befell gripping sights, sounds, even smells
What better means to idle away the time
Than captured under a magic spell
From slides in the magic-latern show
To successive motion in flip books
Quests out of touch with reality
Dangled from supernatural hooks
From the beginning of cinema
To the first appearance of sound
Optical toys and shadowbox shows
Played magical tricks all around
Quickly becoming popular in carnivals
The "peep show" made a dramatic stand
As the forerunner of motion picture films
The Kinetoscope primed movie land
