Little boys belong in trees

Man holds little boy hostage in a an Alabama Bunker

Little boys belong in trees
with dirty hands and scuffy knees
little boys belong by ponds
with turtles and frogs and magic wands
they belong on bikes and wagons too
and dusty patches of dirt and goo
they belong in trucks and cars that go vroom
and any place where they've left room
they belong to spiderman - superman too
( any other caped crusader will do )
They belong to spiders and slimy frogs
to mice and cats and big furry dogs
They belong to rockets and bumper cars
they belong here on earth - reaching for stars
to dragons - that fly and circle and soar
and make believe lions - that grumble and roar
to boy scouts and flashlights and comic books
and home made tents in impossible nooks
They belong to messy bits of string
They belong to the chords that make our hearts sing
They belong to freckles and one missing tooth
and to a world that celebrates youth
To Christopher Robin and Winnie the pooh
to Tigger and Piglet and yes, Eyeore too

They belong in a place that's safe and sound
exploring their world - but always home bound
and unless you've held one tight in your arms
you cannot imagine they're mystical charms
They belong to the world ( you and me )
they belong to the wonderful men they will be

they do not belong in bunkers - please pray for his safe return.
my heart aches again today...............................
it seems we get a little break
and wham it's back again.

( just a small note - because I've been asked who wrote the above - I wrote it this morning with a very heavy heart  )


UPDATE - OH BE STILL MY HEART - THE LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN RESCUED.
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW AFRAID I WAS OF THIS OUTCOME - HOW TERRIBLE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE - AND. HE. HAS. BEEN. RESCUED.
MY HEART IS SOOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

John Malkovitch ( and I )

Did I ever tell you all about the day I met John Malkovitch  - and we shared a quick lunch in Paris......................?. Yes my life is funny like that - I mingle with all the stars when I travel.  Ok maybe that's a slight exaggeration - maybe I only had a quick sandwich with one of them one time but still...................

It's a true story - and happened at the fabric shows we go to in Paris.

He was there with a friend of ours ( who was producing a line for him ) and I was standing in line waiting to get a sandwich and I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and there was Jerry ( our friend ) who said

Hey Suzan - I'd like to introduce you to someone

John this is Suzan 

Suzan this is John

Now the conversation I had with him in my mind went something like this
OhmygodI'vealwayswantedtobeanactresscanIreadsomethingforyourightnowIpromiseyouwon'tbedisappointedidn'tsomeonegiveyouabreakwhenyouwerefirststartingoutitwouldbesonicetopayitforwarddon'tyouthinkandyouwouldnotregretthisIsweartoyoubecauseIamthebestactressthatIknownofit'struejustaskanybodyIreallyamherewatchmeIcantapdancetooifthat'swhatyouneedmetodoandlooklookrealtearsIcancryoncommandand.........................
But what I actually said was
Hi John - it's nice to meet you
and held my hand out - and he took it and replied The pleasure is mine - BUT HE DIDN'T LOOK AT ME!!!
We sat down to eat - and he was too shy to look up basically - and blushed a lot - and actually mumbled a lot!
You don't think of Movie People that way right?
I asked my John a question while we were sitting there - and John Malkovitch tried to nervously reply -
"No, No,  I was speaking to MY John " I quickly let him know - to spare him the agony of having to answer lol.

As we walked away - I said to My John - " wow - he was very shy wasn't he "
AND My John replied - Well you always have to take over - you don't give anyone a chance to talk - I think you'd leave the bloody Queen speechless. ( or something to that effect )
Which left me kind of speechless - because I didn't say what I wanted to, after all!

Nor did I DO what I wanted to do.

Which was to throw myself at his feet and beg him to get me a part in a movie - these opportunities don't come around too often - and I blew it -I absolutely blew it.
Had I just gone with my gut - you would be watching me on Jimmy Kimmel instead of reading me on my blog!

I'll leave it for another time to tell you about the time I scared Catherine McKinnon half to death in her housecoat in her garden ( on a vacation in P.E.I ) John blasted me for that one let me tell you!
In case you don't know her, she's a Canadian singer who's married to Canadian actor Don Herron

and in case you don't recognize him all nice and cleaned up 
you may recognize this photo of him from Hee Haw

Charlie Farquharson

 or about the 2 years that I dated Anthony Bourdain and just broke his heart all to pieces when I left him ?

OK - sometimes I get reality and fantasy mixed up a teensy little bit - nix the Anthony Bourdain one - 
But I have an over the top crush on him - like I haven't had on anyone since David Cassidy in the 70's.
I want to kiss him all over
and over again
Thank God John doesn't read my blog........................
But he's in love with Helen Mirren - and I'm okay with that - I even " get " that lol

Have a good day all - I'm meeting up with Cher this weekend!!!
