Sunday Whirligig

 

 

 they were having fun

enjoying the feast

plates of baked potatoes

turkey on bread rolls

lots of wine 

all laid out on a damask tablecloth

and just like in the story book and movies

John Travolta sidled over to their table

and said hey girls could you mind

this bundle of cash for me

i gotta get on stage now

Helen said no but we wouldn't mind a dance

with you

Both Helen and Bev look decades younger

not at all wrinkled... hot chicks

he called her bluff and said ok 

but do you know the steps?

luck would have it they were very easy

and repetitive steps

yes...we're professional dancers she said

and the rest is history  

 

(any resemblance to any person alive or dead is not coincidental and purely intentional:)


 

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Thanksgiving for Two" by Marjorie Saiser: feast, plates, potatoes, rolls, bundle, tablecloth, bluff, storybook, wrinkled, wine, decades, luck

    What lovely fun! I'm sorry, too, to hear that Bev and Helen are both unwell. I'm sure this poem would lift their spirits.

    Smiles are good for the health --- and there are certainly sufficient smiles here!! We should improve rapidly.

    Like Bev, I also believe that smiles are great medicine. I hope this poem lift Helen's and Bev's spirits as much as it did mine. I'm still smiling... and mind-dancing, too.

    What a fun way to memorialize that scene. I read it first as Travolta's disco days but I saw that movie and remembered he was an angel.
