  5. What's that, Rall, drinking out of two glasses at once?!!

  6. I don't suppose it ever occured to you that it may be the dropping of the glasses at the end?

  7. I think that's Rall in the corps de ballet . . . the one wearing the long skirt.

  8. OK Rall - you asked for it!

    Antonio Banderas? That's greedy,
    wanting him all to yourself-
    there's others who seem to be needy,
    and would like to pick him off the shelf!
    (Sweetmango has mosquito netting
    which would add lots of mystic allure,
    and might leave you sighing and fretting
    should his intentions be somewhat impure!)
    Contraception might cause consternation,
    on your idyllic island for two,
    for there could be unwanted inflation -
    which might turn it into a kid's zoo!

  9. There's nothing sweet about Mango
    A trollop if ever I saw
    Antonio likes not forward behaviour
    thinks unwanted advances a bore
    And as for your ridiculous suggestion
    of maintaining an island's kid's zoo
    it's very hard to concoct progeny
    at the age of one hundred and two

  10. Then Banderas might opt for one younger,
    as one hundred and two he is not.
    Unless you've discovered the fountain of youth,
    he might run away at a trot!

  11. I think that is highly unlikely
    I still look young and spritely
    And when he tastes my sangria
    he say
    You are a genius conchita
    ole

  12. I found out to my cost why Rall in her wisdom told us not to try this at home alone. It took me ages to get my head out of the ceiling.

  13. Rall and J.

    Could you two please knock off your pas-de-deux
    'Ere it becomes a pas-de-deux-des-chats.
    Banderas? What has he got that I have not?
    Apart from . . . Rall, Jinks . . . don't answer that!

  14. Poor ole Footsie got wedged
    his thin legs dangling like
    limp lank veg
    trying to compete
    with uncoordinated feet
    can be disastrous
    dreadful and put you on edge

  15. Hmmphh! I thought you'd be pleased (or at least interested) to hear that at 200 years old I still have a spring in my step.
    WHEEEEEEE!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Of course I am pleased that you are still at it!

  17. Pas de deux and entrechat, fouetté and frappé
    are some well known ballet steps that might keep Footsie happy;
    en devant ou derrière, a graceful arabesque
    is surely what would show him at his balletic best!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh dear oh dear
    my sweet jinxette
    I was not referring
    to his ballet steps
    but since you mentioned it
    I hear he is best
    at the somersault and arabesque
