Tranantella by Hilaire Belloc

Good one Terry, childhood poems are special how they stay with you.

Speaking of, 'the fleas that tease in the high Pyrenees' - has shades of The Court of King Caractacus . . . the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stitches in the breeches of the bla bla . . . good old Rolf

Hi Marty & Heather,

Being would be poets ourselves you can't help but admire the clever use of words can you.
What has always interested me about this one is how it brings that scene to life,you can clearly
imagine the dancer and hear the crowd clapping, and outside mob bashing on the door.
and then you're brought back to an old man wishfully talking of the past with, 'Never more Miranda, Never more'
