Mango's Tango

Just to have a bit of fun and try writing something a bit different. Hope you like it.

It was four and twenty years ago,

When Mango danced the tango;

With a step over here and a step over there,

All the others could do was just stare.

He took a bow,

And said, “Now, now

No need to flatter

Just sober your chatter.”

 

It was four and twenty years ago,

When Mango danced the tango;

With his silky bow tie,

It seemed he could fly

Right into the arms

Of his lucky charm.

He flashed her a smile

‘n’ said, “Took you awhile.”

 

It was four and twenty years ago,

When Mango danced the tango;

He held out his hand

And signaled the band.

“Come Miss Peray, come out and play.

With you I could dance the whole night away.”

Her long, slender fingers, she slid into his

Only to be greeted by a soft, cheeky kiss.

 

It was four and twenty years ago,

When Mango danced the tango;

Into the moonlights soft, twinkling glow

They danced away the deadly night foe.

Miss Pere let out a cry,

“Tut, tut my

 Mango, do take heed,

Remember now, let me lead.”

 

It was four and twenty years ago,

When Mango danced the tango;

That night full of memories, Mango did keep.

And caused many a restless night sleep.

For a yes and I do

Could pull any man through.

Except for poor Mango, who’s thoughts on the matter

Could cause quite a chatter.

For a bachelor to he

Was a handsome man free.
