Experiment In Bolero

Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-ta- tum tum/ Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-t-la ta-ta-la ta-ta-la/ Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-ta tum tum/ Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-la ta-ta-la ta-ta-la/ Like / you are wearing fruited oil cloth/ Peaches apples pears and nuts / And your unders loving rub / They meet and dance exotically/ In electric rhy-thm Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-ta tum/ Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-la ta-ta-la ta-ta-la/ Like / your feet become enchanted / They move to pulse a dum ta-ta dum A charismativ pulse dum ta dum Intoxicating puilse ta-ta dum Insistent driving pulse ta-ta dum/ Ta-ta dum! ta-ta dum in the fee-fee-fever of the dance Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-ta tum Ta-ta-ta tum! ta-ta-la ta-ta-la-ta-ta-la

Ohhh, this is a quirpy one, Daver! Gotta love those drums, they can bring out one's reckless abandon! They are so primal where every culture and society can boast of their use and significance. Hmmm..."wearing fruited oil cloth" makes these sound Polynesian. Nicely done! I'll have those taps and ta-tas swimming in my mind! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

This is Ravel's Bolero - just a little of it. Love, Dave

The music, the dance - what a feeling and picture you have painted. Too bad we cannot include music and/or pics with our poems. But who needs them with writers like you? Who plays music with their words and makes it work? This so worked. Sexy dance, intense music. Love the write! Yes, another awesome one for Daver. Great going! Love, Shar
