Dancers at barre in rows,
Tutus and la petite chose.
Although I can’t see ya,
Invisible fille,
You must work on pointing your toes!

Ha,ha,ha - didn't realise you were a ballet connoisseur Stafford.
ReplyDeleteSo are you the Lord of the Limericks?
ReplyDeleteShort and to the (dare I say it?) point :)
ReplyDeleteAh! Stafford, les joies d'orleil tournoyant
ReplyDeleteLes moments mourir pour..
I for ' One ' will always -
See and Feel ' The Point ' he! he !..
GB, the first ballet I saw was Les Sylphides. The spectacle was breathtaking, but for me it was the music, heard for so long on CD, suddenly made so much more sense!
ReplyDeleteWhere did this revelation take place?
Zeehan (population so small the prostitute is still a virgin) in the wild west of Tassie in the beautifu old Gaiety Theatre! Sensational!
Loanie, I have limericks I can never publish!
Nice to meet you Sue J and Dancer-holic, your disguise does not fool me! And if you really are a French speaker check out 'Parlay Voo Fronsay' in an earler blog.
Oh, this is a charming Magpie!
ReplyDeletemaybe you couldn't see her but your words made her plain as day
ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline, and welcome.
ReplyDeletemy wife was a ballerina for 18 years...so i have stared at that bar often...nice magpie!
ReplyDeleteI think Degas caught your description perfectly...nice job!!
ReplyDeleteAll those little pink tutus
ReplyDeleteGrowing up to wear grown up shoes
But with age stilletto insanity we lose.
I imagine even the most adept and proficient dancer feels there is always room for improvement in the pointing of the toes ...... I enjoy your short and sweet rhyme here .... you painted a picture in my head :)
ReplyDeletevivid images your words paint,
ReplyDeletebeautiful magpie!
tres, tres charmant! ;-) If you had seen a picture of my shoes (9 1/2 wide) you would not have thought of tiny dancers! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like the humour in this. Very clever of you. Definitely short but sweet.
ReplyDeleteLess is more, and dancing is difficult!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone so much for the comments and to Willow and Magpie for the opportunity. It was a toss up between that and this!
ReplyDeleteNude Dance Academy Advice #2.
When clothing of dance you refuse
And absolute nudity choose,
If you are to pose
On tip-tippy toes,
The one thing you must wear is shoes!
This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLast But Not Least :-
