This is an old SEAdog's perception of what the woman must be thinking in re the wonderful poem Susan (SEA) wrote: I wish he would come across the floor, Take a tentative step through the light Stammer out a nervous request to dance, Make me feel like a woman tonight. I wish he would gather up his nerve, And not worry what others thought, I wish he'd beg me for just one dance, And not worry about the cost. His eyes meet mine from across the floor, I smile and beckon, "Come here." He's fallen for my feminine charms, His eyes drink me as he draws near. "May I have this dance?" he requests, As I let my body softly sway. "Not a chance!" I loudly proclaim Then laugh as he slinks away. OK - Maybe this doesn't happen all the time, but it sure seemed that way to me [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (12-27-2001 11:45 AM).] |

Toe Angel - Thanks for those words of encouragement. Susan - Does this mean you will dance with me if I ask? woo hoo - I prefer slow dances that last long enough for my sweaty palms to leave handprints all over my partner's back - heh. Oh, and that rash I've got? The doctor says the latex gloves can come off in another week or two. I hope you like my scruffie whiskers... sometimes it's too much trouble to shave (or even bathe!). When can we dance? heh |

Oh, LJ!! Have missed your laughter and "winks of poetry!" And for the record, I don't have the heart to turn down anyone brave enough to ask--I generally just LIE and tell them that I am not quite accustomed to my prosthetic leg! |

ROFL. Come on, we women could never be this cruel!!! And here I was reading the first few verses, thinking.."what a lovely romantic poem Mike has written here", then you got that zinger in at the end. Too cute If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Well...I was taught never to turn a man down who came over to ask me to dance as it may have taken him quite a bit of courage. You were doing so well in the beginning of the poem, and then,...well, I knew it was too good to be true! *Latex gloves?* hehehe....okay! Hugs, Nancy. *~ Wishing everyone a New Year filled with Peace & Love ~* |
