No Ballet For Jan

I once knew a girl from Sheboygan
She danced with a Wisconsin clan
She tried a deep plie
On a lovely June day
And promptly said, “I don't think I can!”

Now I have to look up the word "plie" - hmmmmmm How many of these obscure strumpet-like words do you know anyway?

I don't know any of them...but my Muse does. Beats me!

She wasn't doing a good job cutting the rug on that one. : ) This was fun my friend.

Thanks, Chris. No, she kind of bowed out early.

Ah, but that is so true, Anselmo, and July is creeping up on us.
