forgive in advance
this sad, butchered retelling
watch it, I mean it!
¨
¨
farm boy loves beauty
goes off in search of fortune
death most untimely
¨
grieving she enters
unfortunate engagement
to Prince Humperdink
¨
pirates, murder plots
kidnapping and screaming eel-
infested waters
¨
Andre the Giant
has huge addiction to rhymes
offering peanuts
¨
Dread Pirate Roberts
scales Cliffs of Insanity
chit chat and swordplay
¨
Mandy Patinkin
as Inigo Montoya
is out for revenge
¨
a six-fingered man
must prepare himself to die
for his father’s death
¨
A battle of wits
Sicilian with Iocane
Inconceivable
¨
fireswamp dangers
lightning sand and rodents of
unusual size
¨
the Pit of Despair
Rugen’s torture contraption
can’t trump True Love’s Kiss
¨
Watch it or not “As you wish…”
¨

Wordifull 
Lol such a perfect ending to the poem. Love the movie, love the retelling. 🙂
Thank you. I thought it came out a bit clunky.
guess I missed it but Patinkin and Sicilan peak my interest
It is from the 80’s and I would highly recommend it. So many great lines… I quote it often. 🙂
Love this poem and love The Princess Bride! EVERYONE should be required to watch this movie. Fun fact. . . I work at the University of Kansas, where Mandy Patinkin was a student. 🙂
Very cool! Ya know I’ve always loved The Princess Bride and I liked Mandy Patinkin in Criminal Minds but for some reason it took me awhile to figure out they were one and the same. AND do you know he sings too?
I know! He’s is so talented. I don’t think many people realize just how much. I love him in Dead Like Me. If you haven’t watched that tv series, you should. It’s on Netflix.
Never seen it but thanks for the recommendation!
Never seen it. Now I don’t have to bother.
Oh, that is to bad. I think you might enjoy it. 🙂
Inconceivable! My favorite movie of all time. A true classic. So many memorable scenes.
One of my favorite for sure. 🙂 The lines are gold.
My 2 kids love this movie too.
Fabulous ending love it!
Thanks!
i agree with others- what a great way to end! And of course a wow creation.. 🙂
Thank you so much for the great compliment!
