I wish I were a tree
A poem by CJ

I wish I were a tree, growing in the wood
To never have a girlfriend I think could be quite good
To think up chat-up lines requires imagination
I’d rather wait for windy days and try cross pollination
If a child was to climb me, he could do it and be reckless!
I wouldn’t have to worry about political correctness.
And if I was a tree I could avoid being dumped
But if you put an axe to me, I’d be well and truly stumped.

Sunday morning and I am just recovering from last nights dance-fest. It was embarrassingly hilarious. The evening started with a dance class; now during the week, my teacher said that I was doing well and I should try some of the intermediate stuff. "I'm game" I thought, so I decided to join the intermediate lesson last night. And boy was it frantic!! Suddenly we were shown all sorts of twists and turns and spins and dips, and the music was getting faster!! So there I was trying hard to follow a routine with partners who were all a bit more experienced, and I was bashing their heads meith my aarms, twisting their arms round their backs, stopping on their feet and throwing them across the floor when the spin got out of control and I let go! And each partner, looking like they had been dragged through a hedge backwards, smiled and politely said 'thank you' as they moved to the next gent.
After the lesson, was the free-style dance part. There were some 'dance leaders' there, ready to drag helpless victims willing volunteers onto the dance floor. I was keen to give my new found talents a whirl... unfortunately effort and ability are no the same thing... and the amount of times I had to apologise was enormous.
The tiger lady was there, all prowling and purring. However she didn't stay long as she had some prey to hunt another party to go to. However, there were some other characters there. There was Dolly Parton and her friend..er.. Dolly Parton. (who kept dragging me up) and then there was drunken floozy girl, who was finding it hard to follow any moves due to her innebriated state. She just grabbed and wiggled!
It was a good night though, but I think I'd want to be a bit better before doing it again.

Now I am catching up on last nights TV. How did I know that Kyran was going to win Dancing on Ice. He was good, but I thought Claire was better tonight. Still, I cant complain, it has been a great show. I am now watching Primeval... which has turned out to be better than I thought. The idea of having a link to the future now adds another dimension to the whole show, and gives opportunity for plot development in future series!! I liked that whole photograph twist
Just seen the end.... WOW! THat was good!
