I want to dance the tango with a llama Bipedal girls are strictly out of bounds I'm off to Argentina in the morning I'll hit the pampas clubs and do the rounds I'll try the old smooth talking in their ears Tell them that long necks are so refined And if they head in numbers for the mountains I'll know my hopeful offer's been declined But that won't stop me, for I'm on a mission No way that they could ever be so quick I'll wait just out of town as they're stampeding A bolas round the heels should do the trick I hear you say: But that will cost you dearly Four stockings? Aren't they twice the price of two? Yes, but when those legs emerge from tight-split skirt The deep green of the Congo won't match you. When I go along with her to meet her parents And they ask me: Do you two really suit? I'll say, I've only ever fancied llamas Though, in honesty, vicunas are quite cute But when we get to dancing, then they'll know us We'll dance the tango in our sensual way She'll arch her back and strut those legs, so proudly As they sing and shout, Hernando's Hideaway OLE |

Well Osprey that is an unusual poem to say the least but it is a very well constructed one and most enjoyable to read. I like your style of writing. Keep up the good work. Lindsay |

Yo Osprey, This is a lot of fun. Stay away from those vicunas, they're way too wooly for you. Stick with the llamas. Bobby |

This is called going wild. Very unique subject and definitely creative. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Osprey, I absolutely LOVE your poem and I understand precisely what you mean!!! I would much prefer to dance with a llama, than a silly human, but being a woman, the llama would have to be a he-llama! I had never heard of a vicuna, but thanks to Bobby, I guess they are like llama, but with sheep-like fleece. I will look up vicuna on the Internet when I get a second to spare. I would love to dance with a vicuna AND a llama (but not at the same time). Although I don't speak llama or vicuna, I learn quickly. Besides even without language, I communicate far more successfully with animals than with (most) humans. Owl |
