Musical Mnemonic

Musical Mnemonic

I'm getting old 

Or so I'm told 

Getting long in the tooth, 

Ain't that the truth! 

Yet I trundle along 

Till I hear that song 

Then years disappear.

As the notes reach my ears,

I'm back to being eighteen 

Dance, dance,

My brain screams !

I travel back in time 

To when I was in my prime,

The music would play 

We'd dance and sway, 

We'd kiss and caress, 

Needing love,

 Wanting to possess,.

The tune gently fades, 

Reality invades, 

I'm back to today,

To continue my decay! 

Yet when I hear that melody, 

I'm back to the previous century!

Nonsense A Go Go

                                        

Nonsense A Go Go 

In the middle of the Congo,

Lives a very hairy mango 

Who strums upon a human banjo. 

While the ultra slim thin rhinos 

Dance a street dance fandango, 

Circled by short legged flamingos

Screaming house, playing bingo!

Waiting for the mummified Pharaoh

To tiptoe through for a tango,

All partying together in their tropical a go go !

Natures Dance

Natures Dance 

Sky Reading by A Chance of Sunshine

MY oh My don't get upset, don't cry, 
Put your bad thoughts in the breeze,
Let them go, let them fly, 
Dance daintily with the leaves,
For when your feeling blue,
Nature will always be there for you

My oh My don't spill your tears, don't cry,
Put all your hurt in the wind,
Sing out loud, don't sigh,
Let the hurt go, let it fly,
For when he's been unkind
Nature is there for you!

My oh my, share your true love,
 Put your heart in his soul,
Dance and soar like a dove,
Let your feelings go, let two become whole,
  For when you've found the one,
Natures tricks have been done !

Passion

This is a light hearted Poem about what makes us tick, Hope it makes you smile please leave comments .....Thank you  

Passion 

Passionate is not always about being horizontal,

Having to be in bed is just incidental,

Passion can be generated at the drop of a hat

That lusty feel you get in your tum, 

When you see the arch of a certain bum!

 It's true ,passion isn't for just the sack,

Passion can take control and that is fact!

Passion, when and if desired, 

Can be created if we stoke our fires, 

We dim the lights and fan the flames,

Sexy attire! The passion becomes untamed,

Subtle touches and gentle contact, 

Passion can be created and that's a fact !

Passion can breed when music is present, 

It warms your cockles and makes you ardent,

Your body sways, you feel the rhythms and beat, 

Your heart races as you move your feet,

When the evening ends, you'll complete the act, 

Passion can be absorbed and that's a fact !
