for her i would take lessons

[constantine]

i've never danced the tango
but i would with her
for her i would take lessons
i would risk being the fool
i would speak from my heart
and risk being the fool
i am a fool
i've always been a fool
not bragging about it
we are who we are
though you never know
i'm not a good judge of character
especially my own
i believe i have good intentions
i'm very polite, surely
that counts for something, perhaps
it gives me a bit of leverage
you need leverage to dance the tango
you also need a woman
did i mention that i'm a fool

Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her; If you can
bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she cry “Lover, gold-
hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!”
F Scot Fitzgerald.

your poem a lesson constantine

[Arcadia]

if you are a man
it´s quite probably (or not)
that yeah... you need a woman!
and a local secret:
you don´t have to talk!!!

& why do you think you are polite? just curious!!!! (in a poetic level)

try milonga!!!!

[constantine]

thanks for the tip on milonga - when i come to argentina i'll look you up and we'll go to one - that would be cool. i'm polite because i respect people - it is their due.
