Those who inspire me are people like Mary Oliver and Robert Frost on nature and beauty. For me poetry is an art form to reflect the beauty in the world around whether it is the glories of growing things, mountains, and seas or even in the places that people often look at somber or bare as in the winter between snows when all seems gray unless you stop and look at its own unique beauty and this also applies to deserts which I have only a small exposure to. I wish I can say that I can crank out a poem a day, week or month but it only comes when I moved inside by the beauty or even sadness in something.

Our Gang Follies of 1936 (1935)
Our Gang Follies of 1936 is a hit!
From the moment it starts the cuteness and innocents just exudes as Spanky comes up from his basement to sing the introduction of his acts. they show kids being kids asking the questions outside and some trying to get in free with both success and failure.
Spanky and the gang do their best to entertain and it shows from the audience reaction. And the stress of putting on the show that gets comic relief from Porky, Buckwheat and Elmer the monkey during the show.
Both the girls and boys of the show play their parts well from a high step dance to serenades and their is even a scare element to complete the gambit of entertainment. All the while Spanky's dancing girl act "The Flory Dory Sixttet" is late and he keeps moving them back.
When the times comes and they are now the last act and the girls have still not shown up and the crowd starts their chant of "We want the Flory Dories!" Spanky in the true Broadway fashion of the show must go on comes up with the idea that he and the boys will do the girls dance and tells the boys to don on the girls Gay 90's bustle dresses.
When there is protest from the boys that they don't know the dance Spanky tells them that he dose and to do exactly what he dose. As the boys go on the stage in their Gay 90's attire no one suspects that Spanky will receive unexpected direction and prodding from Elmer the monkey that will make Spanky and the strive on in the act with a dis-dressing result!
You will enjoy all the fun and frolics of this entertaining musical short as will your children. Also i thought the boys were just so adorable as the Flory Dory Dancing Girls!
