Puss Gets the Boot
1940|USA|9 min|Col|Animation

- Beginning of a grandular rivalry.

Family/Comedy
, by

The silent master gets the kick from the nap,
	no more than anyone else,
		sitting on his lap.
The little kid runs around and hits a gap,
	in between a screaming,
		soon followed by a slap.
To see that one needs not a map,
	for which no things are in place,
		yet again long enough to snap.
The silent master gets back to his nap,
	for the afternoon is about to wrap.

Surrealism/Anti-war
Life is Beautiful, by Roberto Benigni

		This is a game
	  That kids should not play.
	 It makes you blind
	              deaf
	              dumb
			When the others are
			           behind
			           rough
			           numb.
					 But they are catching up,
			Oh, it's too late for some.

	To kiss and tell,
		To live and fell,
			From the ground,
				To the sky!
Now it is your turn,
	To watch the baby!

- The box locked around the mind.

Political Thriller/Avant-garde
, by

A nail,
	longer than your thumb,
		runs through your tongue.
You try to speak,
	with much sincerity
		like those who had flung.
The walls keep on rusting,
	every night and every morning,
		until you no longer live on.
					 Why is the exit so dark?
Because that's where the entrance used to be on.
