DANCING NOT WALKING

I AM DANCING NOT WALKING** "I'm dancing, not walking - into your armsyou needn't entice me with your  heady charms - I'm twirling  and swirling through Heaven's doormesmorized by you, swaying - aways wanting more.  I'm romantic,fanciful, impulsive,  and gay -you're pendantic, tiresome, thrifty won't play -yet when you take me in your armsI just melt away... Sexual & stimulatingScorpio untamed,My knees go weak -my resistance goes lame So where to from heremy elusive beauIs it just an experiencefor Fate to sayI TOLD YOU SO...."

Inspired by this story: *A British pensioner has vowed to keep making his moves despite having his disability benefits cut after he appeared breakdancing on Britain's Got Talent. (Newspaper article 06/18/09)

Oops Jayne!

You could be right! I wrote it some time back but when I went through my collection on Neopeot - couldn't find it - so I though aha! I hadn't yet submitted it... I guess one does strange things during a ":dry spell!" Glad to see that season hasn't hit you! lol THanks for always being so present and so ON ZE BALL ;) Boni
