                         ~*~*~*~

                         A ROCKETTE    

             Of course, I always wanted to be.
             With tanned long legs, so heavenly.
             To be on stage, with wild headdresses,
             And to have a lover waiting for me
             with flowers and warm caresses.


             Costumes are grand, lovely things,
             And music makes my soul ring.
             At night, now, with the stars all aglow.
             In my beautiful dreams, 
             I am a Rockette, the hit of the show!

Emila~ only a true poet friend would look on line as you did! Thank you. They really are fabulous I was thinking, sadly, how this hors hockey about social distancing will prevent them from doing this. Nice plot to destroy nations and out lives. The numbers are so vastly exaggerated, it's sick. Satan surely walks this planet. Finding joy will be hard. Pangie..

Back in the 60s we used to have a troupe of dancers called the tiller girls, similar to the Rockettes, I used to be glued to the screen lol. They were amazing to see all dancing as one. Tom

Thsnk you for sharing that Tom...the Rockettes dance with such precision... I remembered, sadly. That's their livelihood. They cannot perform in New York under jailer, Cuomo. Awful. Pangie.
