On the television, a ship was sinking

it seemed so real, but it was just a movie

made by Irwin Allen (my, what a relief)

and on this ship was Ernest Borgnine,

brave in the face of certain death

he played a cop on a pleasure cruise

along with his wife, an ex-prostitute

Shelley Winters, she was on the ship

she was good, too- but she died

as did Gene Hackman, a preacher,

who gave his life so that others could live

he died shouting "how many more lives?!"



On the screen, the city crumbled

so realistic, but but yet another film

by the master of realism, mr. Irwin Allen

no less a man than Lorne Green, and mr. George Kennedy,

risked their lives to save the lives of strangers

their selflessness was moving

Chuck Heston was in the movie too- but he was just a ham.



On the tv, a building in flames

it was "Towering Inferno" by Irwin Allen

O.J. Simpson led the cast

in a man-against-nature fight-for-survival

it was awesome!

yeah, man, it blew me away.
